New innovation ecosystems are emerging globally, beyond well-known hubs. While often smaller or more specialized than, say, Silicon Valley, these clusters of activity are expanding the regional opportunities for corporate engagement in new locations. Meanwhile, digital interactions enable wider participation across geographic boundaries.

To achieve their goals for innovation, companies need to take a systematic approach to identifying and securing competitive advantage from working with these innovation communities. Join this AMA with Dr. Phil Budden, Senior Lecturer at MIT, to understand the latest re innovation ecosystems (and if/how the ecosystem play is changing because of recent global developments).

Dr.Phil is a Senior Lecturer at MIT's Management School, where he researches and teaches internationally about innovation, where it happens (in ecosystems, and why), and why 'corporate innovation' is so important but also so hard. Having worked as a diplomat and corporate banker before joining MIT, Dr.Phil brings a real-world approach to his teaching, enabling his corporate clients to harness innovation, both internally and by engaging other stakeholders in ecosystems, especially startups and entrepreneurs.
