We accelerate innovation with customized programs based on shared problem, shared risk, shared result. We realize innovations with a positive societal impact by innovating with partners in an ecosystem applying Open Innovation processes and culture. To generate these real solutions to real problems, we do not only use an integrated approach, we collaborate in an entire innovation ecosystem. ESTI – the EcoSystem Thinking Institute – gathers ecosystems around the challenges of Smart Living, like energy transition, care & wellbeing, safety and technology. This way every party – local authorities, science, industry, SME’s and education – can contribute to real solutions, using their own strengths.Wij versnellen innovatie met maatwerkprogramma’s op basis van: gedeeld probleem, gedeeld risico & gedeeld resultaat. Wij realiseren innovaties met maatschappelijke impact door het bouwen van ecosystemen met open innovatie proces en cultuur samen met: Woningcorporaties, Overheden zoals ministeries, provincies en gemeenten, Onderwijsinstellingen, Kennisinstellingen en Grote bedrijven. Om te komen tot echte oplossingen voor echte problemen, hebben we niet alleen een geïntegreerde aanpak nodig maar de (samen-)werking van het hele innovatie-ecosysteem. ESTI – het EcoSystem Thinking Institute – brengt de ecosystemen samen rondom de uitdagingen binnen Smart Living, zoals energietransitie, zorg & welzijn, veiligheid en technologie. Zo kan iedere partij – overheid, wetenschap, industrie, mkb en onderwijs – vanuit de eigen rol en sterkte bijdragen aan echte oplossingen.

My own experience drove me to come up with this solution. My son needed light therapy directly after birth, to treat his neonatal jaundice. Next to a stressful extension of the hospital stay, we could not hold our newborn son during his treatment. He was just lying there, multiple days with goggles protecting his eyes in the cold blue light of the open incubator. The regular blood draws for monitoring my son’s bilirubin levels where painful to watch.
