Disruptive Innovation
As government strategists and policy makers begin to advocate the application of ‘Open Source’ value systems to areas outside of software, such as the education system and the development of new
pharmaceutical products, artists, designers and product developers are beginning to embrace new approaches to the development cycles of products and hardware devices; ‘Open Hardware’. This
programme of presentations and discussions will illuminate the potential advantages, and dynamics, of embracing an open approach to developing products and freely sharing knowledge.

Speakers include: Aymeric Mansoux, France [Packets]; Tuomo Tammenpää, Finland [TileToy]; Ulla-Maaria Mutanen and Jyri Engeström, Finland [Wikiproducts and ThingLink]. Introduced by Derek Hales, UK [University of Huddersfield].
