🔎 About the session:
Mission Possible – Experimental Infrastructures for Innovation Ecosystems
This panel explores how Experimental Infrastructures (EIs) support mission-driven innovation by enabling co-creation, de-risking experimentation, and scaling across complex innovation ecosystems. We’ll discuss the social, institutional, and political dynamics that shape their design and impact.
💡 Why Attend?
Whether you’re researching or designing innovation ecosystems, this session offers both cutting-edge theory and practical insights on how to build infrastructures that drive systemic change.
💬 Topics we'll explore:
- How EIs organize, align, and scale innovations across diverse ecosystems
- How they reduce innovation risk and foster experimentation
- How social, political, and institutional dynamics shape their effectiveness
- What future research is needed to enhance their impact
🎤 Distinguished Panelists:
- Carliss Baldwin (Harvard Business School): On platform architectures and selecting the “right” EI for a given grand challenge
- Jennifer Woolley (Santa Clara University): On value-rational innovation and AI-enabled healthcare
- Susanne Ollila (Chalmers University of Technology): On relational and political dynamics in collaborative innovation spaces
🧠 Format:
A high-energy 90-minute panel including expert insights, interactive discussion, and open Q&A.
Moderated by Marcel Bogers, with insights from Discussant Hans Berends.
👥 Organized by the Fieldlabs@Scale team:
Hans Berends, Marcel Bogers, Orlando Vazquez, Attabik Awan, Luca Vadacca, Jaime Bonnin Roca, Henk Akkermans, Leentje Volker, & Marc van den Berg
