Answering to social issues – How can we build and utilize a backcasting-approach-based open innovation platform?

Abstract

In the present article, we propose a new style of open innovation as an approach to solve unsolved issues “不（Fu）” of Japanese companies as well as societal issues in Japan （“Fu” of Japanese society） based on a backcasting approach. Also, we introduce the Open Science Platform promoted by Kyushu University as an practical example of such a new open innovation platform.
