Abstract:

With the increasing the spread of technology outside of industry, consumers have become more interesting as participants in innovation processes. In addition to various forms of collaboration on the internet, different kinds of spaces have lately been established where people can meet in person to engage in innovation activities. These spaces can be addressed as open innovation laboratories. Based on general considerations from the philosophy of technology, this paper studies how innovation is practiced in such spaces and discusses the implications of these practices for the general notion of innovation and its role for economic change.

Key words: open innovation, industrial change, laboratories and marketplaces, philosophy of technology
