The document details the Satellite Applications Catapult Centre's public sector workshop held on February 3, 2012, focusing on the role of satellite applications in driving economic growth and technological innovation in the UK. It emphasizes the need for collaboration between industry, research, and the public sector to capture opportunities in the global space market, estimated to reach £400 billion by 2030. The Catapult Centre aims to provide infrastructure and expertise for developing new applications that leverage satellite technologies across various sectors.

43. What is ‘open innovation’?
“Open innovation is a paradigm that assumes that
companies can and should use external ideas as well
as internal ideas, and internal and external paths to
market, as they look to advance their technology.
The boundaries between a company and its
environment have become more permeable;
innovations can easily transfer inward and outward.
The central idea behind open innovation is that in a
world of widely distributed knowledge, companies
cannot afford to rely entirely on their own
research..”
Chesbrough, H.W. (2003). Open Innovation: The new imperative for creating
and profiting from technology. Boston: Harvard Business School Press

44. Catapult Operating Guidelines

Potential examples:
• Increasing wealth creation arising from effective
commercialisation of new technologies and applications
fostered by the centres
• Intermediate measures:
• Value of work won competitively
• Number of new customers, projects, successful projects,
new customers/year, etc.
