[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]L’innovation ouverte est une méthode particulièrement bien adaptée aux PME, confrontées elles aussi à la nécessité d’innover sans cesse. Cet atelier, animé notamment par Thomas Maillart, président d’Open Geneva, en collaboration avec Scott Deely, Best for Geneva, a pour objectif d’aider les entreprises à préparer elles-mêmes leur propre événement de co-création. La participation à cet atelier est gratuite mais la réservation obligatoire: https://www.ccig.ch/agenda/2018/04/Organisez-votre-propre-hackathon Attention : cet atelier est limité  et réservé aux entreprises membres de la CCIG ou participant à Best for Geneva.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Cette table-ronde sera le coup d’envoi du festival Open Geneva, qui est cette année constitué de hackathons. Ses participants définiront ce que recouvre le terme hackathon, le concept d’innovation ouverte sur lequel Geneva Open est fondé mais aussi les résultats pratiques de cette méthode, adaptée aussi bien aux PME qu’aux plus grandes entreprises. Le conseiller national et conseiller administratif responsable du Département de l’environnement urbain et de la sécurité Guillaume Barazzone présentera sa vision du cadre politique nécessaire à l’encouragement et au développement de toutes les méthodes qui permettent l’innovation. Thomas Maillart, président d’Open Geneva, sera entouré d’entrepreneurs qui fourniront des exemples concrets de ce que l’organisation de hackathons a pu leur apporter. Parmi ceux-ci, Pascale de Senarclens, associée, Witty* Innovation Lab, parlera de moyens simples et pratiques de co-création pour les TPE/PME et racontera l’expérience de sa propre TPE. Ou en encore Pierre Mirlesse, Vice président Public Sector, Healthcare & Pharma Hewlett Packard Enterprise – EMEA et vice-président d’Open Geneva. La participation à cet événement est gratuite mais l’inscription obligatoire.: https://www.ccig.ch/agenda/2018/04/Linnovation-au-service-de-la-croissance-des-PME-Le-hackathon-pour-les-Nuls
