MEDIACI
open innovation for transmedia businesses
(Status)
In the past few years, I enjoyed a series of hugely interesting OiLs (Open Innovation Labs) on micro and macro-level in several places around Europe (and even a bit beyond). Thank you all, for your openness of minds and your willingness to share your ideas, insights, knowledge, experiences, failures, fascinations and passions: It’s always a tremendous pleasure to have you on our show! Tnx!
BTW — The vlogs and blogs about these gatherings are currently elsewhere in the web... No worries — We’ll rearrange them in the upcoming Mediaci website.
End 2009, beginning 2010, we suddenly got the chance to “take the bridges” and carry MEDIACI to the very next level: A new series of OiLs, integrated in a doctoral program (global). Emerged with projects in art schools and business schools as well as with an highly involved business community. But as well: Some dry publications, a sexy book, new events… etc. All yet to come, thanks to the welcome support of some partner networks, institutes, universities and a highly engaged Inner Circle of “veterans in the industry”.
Our mutual aim: To facilitate a Pan-European platform for open business development in the creative industries and more specific in the transmedia field.
MEDIACI:
-
•A Foresight Platform, focussing on the future of media business, by application of the open innovation and open business modeling paradigm (Chesbrough).
-
•An Education Platform, providing Business Competence modules to existing European master programs in Media Management. Fulfilling the considerable shortage of business content in these programs.
-
•A Business Development Laboratory, supporting the future for innovative digital media start-ups in order to reach high growth and internationalisation.
