What We Do
The “Mindhub” model represents the University of Pavia’s Institute for Transformative Innovation Research (ITIR) platform for academia-business collaboration. This innovative approach revises and reimagines the traditional “observatory” format.
At the core of ITIR’s Mindhub is the concept of “Transformative Innovation,” which denotes a significant, epoch-making process of change. This process uniquely merges three pivotal trends of our era:
- revolutionizing business models
- driving digital transformation
- reshaping corporate purpose to emphasize the harmonious blend of prosperity, environmental sustainability, and social sustainability.
Our Objectives
Our focus is to understand and articulate the nuances of contemporary change, bridging business transformation, digital evolution, and ecological & societal transitions.
We aim to:
- Develop and share know-how on “transformative innovation”
- High-value-added networking (few but good)
- Technology transfer/open innovation/tech scouting
- Visibility/becoming a point of reference on these topics
