Innovation in Progress...
Discover the project
What?
Our project is about innovation, cities and ecosystem suited to innovation. We based our analysis from the Rainforest Theory proposed by V. W Hwang and G. Horowitz.
We define our problematic through the questions:
-
What is an innovation-friendly city?
-
Which metrics would be the best to compare innovative cities?
How?
-
We gather information through a literature review about innovation theories.
-
We conduct interviews of innovation stakeholders (Entrepreneurs, Researchers, Innovators, Venture capitalist, Network) in France.
-
We travel to California to have a better understanding of their innovation environment and to meet innovation stakeholders from there.
-
We compare French cities and California ones in order to bring back what makes Californian cities so innovative friendly
