Open innovation and the 5 Pillars of a Startup CommunityNicola Mattina
In a world, where every company has to become (more or less) a software company, it is necessary to promote the transition from closed innovation (R&D centers) and open innovation models (crowdsourcing portals) to innovation ecosystems (like Cintrifuse in Cincinnati).
In innovation ecosystems, startups communities take on a strategic role. How do they work? And more important: is it possibile to design and deploy them? To find an answer, we first need to recognize that innovation ecosystems have 5 pillars:
1.
Financial Capital. Of course you need money, but this is not enough. Every time governments have put money on the table to encourage entrepreneurship, they have wasted it and have obtained nothing except corruption and no return on investment for the community. Before adding financial resources, it is necessary to grow intellectual and relational capitals.
2.
Intellectual Capital is the all the knowledge you need to create new products and services. That means higher education, software education and the know-how necessary to transform an invention or an idea in a something the a customer wants to buy (lean methodologies).
3.
Relational Capital is needed to have ideas and competences circulate in the community. Innovation is an incremental process: you need occasions to share ideas, share knowledge and build trust. Techniques to grow the relational capital are very well described in Brad Feld's book, Startup Communities.
4.
Innovation Ideology. You cannot innovate, if you do not think that what you do has a positive impact on the future. The Silicon Valley has produced an ideology around three main ideas: the exponential growth, the presumption that the future is predictable and the belief that technology creates a better world. It is not very different from XIX centuries ideologies: there is a status quo to disrupt and a bright future that is waiting for us.
5.
Finally cultural heritage. This is a very neglected aspect: it's a matter of fact that a startup community is not born in a vacuum, but in a specific geographic area and in a specific historical moment. And this determines its chances of success. One of the most interesting analysis on the impact of cultural heritage on the formation of a startup community is contained in the book Startup Nation. Reading the book, many focus their attention on the Israelian Fund of funds, forgetting that most of the book describes the role of the military service, social cohesion and the insolence (chutzpah) of the Jewish people as key factors in starting a community of people dedicated to technological innovation. And of course this is true also for Silicon Valley, as America describes itself as the land of freedom and opportunity, a place where you can have success if you work enough to achieve it.

Este Internet de las Cosas (Internet of the Things, IoT) ofrece oportunidades por valor de un trillón de dólares, y provocará mejoras en la producción y los procesos de distribución, pero, lo que es más importante, provocará un cambio significativo en el modo en el que se utilizan los productos.

WHAT NEXT FOR DIGITAL SOCIAL INNOVATION?
Realising the potential of people and technology to tackle social challenges

Those interested in the subject for academic reasons are invited to visiti and read at Academia [https://uam.academia.edu/OlgaGil]: Smart Cities Track 3 169 Gil Innovations of Governance in Cities and Urban Regions. EURA Conference 2013.
ABSTRACT
In order to study innovations of governance in cities and urban regions we have chosen
to do research on smart cities and policies in a comparative perspective. This research
is an exploratory comparative study of cities emphasizing different ways to address the
definition and implementation of the smart concept. We analyze and compare cases from China, Japan, Malaysia, Spain and United States to find out differences and
commonalities in smart city governance and public policies. Based on these cases, we
also draw tentative conclusions for governance and public urban planning in the areas
and management and organization, technology, policy context, people and communities,
economy, built in infrastructure and natural environment.

This medical device will remain very useful and necessary in the post-pandemic era because it improves cardiorespiratory resuscitation procedures. Using AIRESS, a unique rescuer can attend to a patient by focusing on providing cardiac massage to the patient.
AIRESS has an amazing market because is the right complement to a defibrillator (DEA). 300 units per 100K inhabitants is the ratio of DEAS deployed, for example, in Japan and US

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

Example of cooperation with a telecom carrier.
Telefonica I+D in 2014 developed an analysis of how tourist move
around Barcelona using the data from the mobile phones
connection.
They know when a non-Spanish device connects to the network
and how many time is connected.
The study revealed how tourists moved around the city.
Significant differences were detected according to nationality.
Surprising conclusions were reached, such as that 50% of cruise
passengers did not get off the ship when they made a stopover in
the city.
This kind of studies, according European regulations, to protect
privacy can only work with general data, never can affect a too
small group of persons or a concrete person.
Mobile carriers have huge amount of data to be processed.
