Industry Driven Open Innovation
DA-EWG uses a relatively new approach to “open innovation” in that the platform is being initiated by an industry group that sees benefits of open innovation not only for themselves, but also for governmental and academic stakeholders, as well patients throughout Asia. Through a pan-Asia open innovation platform, DA-EWG aims to promote both domestic and cross-border innovation in order to benefit patients in the greater Asia region sooner. The positioning of Industry-driven versus government-driven and company-driven open innovation is shown below.
