Innovation

  • One of the main research areas of CrESIT regards business innovation.
    We adopt a broad concept of Innovation. Besides the technological dimension, we focus on the strategy and business model innovation as well (business model, market approach and positioning, organization, go-to-market, etc.).
    Here are some current research topics of the Centre:
    • Corporate spin off
    • Incubators and clusters

  • CrESIT is going to set up a laboratory for corporate innovation ("CrESIT Innovation Lab") with the aim of:
    • indentifying and collecting the best practices of innovation at a corporate level;
    • analysing the innovating companies in order to draft guidelines and operational routines; 
    • promoting the innovation capabilities existing in the area and fostering the knowledge exchange among firms;
    • teaching innovation in universities with the direct involvment of successfull companies.
  • The "CrESIT Innovation Lab" was presented on 20th March 2007 during a conference  at the presence of the Italian Minister for Innovation.
