Blog Allagi Open Innovation

Dear venturing friends,

Below please find the announcement of the sixth Masterclass Open Innovation and Corporate Entrepreneurship.

In the previous five successful events we trained more than hundred of your colleagues in venturing oriented business case development. The Masterclass Open Innovation and Corporate Entrepreneurship is an open course where participants from several companies and representatives from the venturing community and Universities meet.

In our view this is an important factor in realizing a high educational level and the required pluriformity. This translates in many vivid discussions on business innovation and results in a wide variety of sharpened business cases developed over the course of the Masterclass.

The previous five Masterclasses were led by Henry Chesbrough and Ken Morse. I would like to ask you to consider joining this training and also to distribute this announcement to the potential entrepreneurs in your business environment.

From October 1th – 7th, the sixth Masterclass on Open Innovation and Corporate Entrepreneurship will be organized. This course teaches how to define and sharpen your business proposition in an Open Innovation setting. It is meant for entrepreneurs focusing on new business generation.

For this course we have invited a unique combination of three teachers leading the class, Prof. Henry Chesbrough who has introduced to the world the concept of Open innovation, Lüder Tockenbuerger who is a professor at the Steinbeis University and an expert in Sales and Management and Marcel Dissel a CEO at the AO Foundation and specializes in Innovation and Business planning.

They will lead the class from the essentials of business development based on Open Innovation towards the ins and outs of new business generation addressing all elements key for a solid business proposition. Guest speakers will address venturing in the European context and on a global scale.

This course is open to corporate and startup entrepreneurs. Additional information can be found on the Corporate Entrepreneurship website at:

I hope you can forward this message to those in your organization that would be good candidates for this course or consider joining the course yourself.
