Conference ecosystems

At EBRF 2011, accepted abstract contributors will be teamed up for ecosystem level impact. Utilizing GVL Finland's rewarded Runway-to-Growth (R2G) method, the "knowledge teams" will each meet one of six real life "ecosystem teams", comprising entrepreneurs, executives and policy makers – in a Live Case exercise aimed at co-creation of enabling research, ventures, and policies. With inspiration from the accepted abstracts, the "ecosystem teams" will be composed around the grand titles of Capital, Climate, Education, Energy, Health, and ICT.

Topics of the ecosystem level R2G exercise

CAPITAL: "Innovative Growth Resourcing". Business creation and VC require spicing up. In CAPITAL, we work to turn knowledge (capability, capacity, competence, compassion and contacts) of individuals and slack resources of institutions into investable capital.

ENERGY: "The Treasure in Waste". Co-creation of research, ventures and policies is required around the smartest energy solutions. In ENERGY, we discuss scaling of waste to energy related technologies, production and delivery models as an ecosystem level exercise.

EDUCATION: "Energizing Environment". Education of global business creation requires a globally scalable platform, but also inspiring environments, locally. In EDUCATION, we design the ideal space around Aalto’s new Otaniemi Campus where anything is possible.

HEALTH: "For the Bottom of the Pyramid". Health delivery models differ from society to society and segment to segment. In HEALTH, we focus on ecosystem level modeling of processes and organizations in the context of the Rural India Health Kiosk venture.

ICT: "Enabling Solutions". Business creation across all borders and barriers is possible thanks to ICT enabled solutions, such as Social Media. In ICT, a virtual Great Enabler mechanism of global business creation, connecting stakeholders into action, is addressed.

WELLBEING: "Maximizing Happiness". Wellbeing is the basis of our actions, but our body is often seen as a transportation to our heads to get into meetings. In Wellbeing we are co-creating solutions to health, exercise and wellbeing ecosystem under construction, an open platform for research and business.
