The Crocetta district in Turin is known for its strong innovative spirit attracting companies and professionals to the heart of an area rich in excellence, potential, and international connections facing the challenges brought by technological evolution and its effects on the economy.
Located in Corso Galileo Ferraris, in a building redesigned by Carlo Ratti, Director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Senseable City Lab, Sella has opened its new Open Innovation Center. The hub is open to the city, the territory, the innovation ecosystem, and to anyone wishing to have insights, exchanges, meetings and develop impactful business opportunities.
'Openness,' explained the Group’s CEO, Pietro Sella at the inauguration, 'is essential’. Today, innovation has nothing to do with the traditional closed model, in which companies solely relied on their internal resources. There's a need for collaboration, cross-contamination, and co-creation. The above explains why this latest addition to the network of Open Innovation Center is conceived as a melting pot open to cooperation among all the
specialized advisory skills of the Sella Group in various fields of activity, with customers, entrepreneurs, investors, startuppers, freelancers, young talents, suppliers, universities, research centers and incubators: a pole, where relations and advisory meet innovation to create a positive impact on the territory.
Unity is strength, so they say. However, just consider the potential this strength has to multiply and become exponential when several professionals from different fields work together for the community in the same space - under one roof -. One thing is certain: in a world of continuous technological evolution, physical spaces draw us in like magnets calling us and fostering ongoing and valuable relationships between people helping to enhance co-intelligence, as discussed in our longform dedicated to this topic.
The Skills offered by customized and technology-accelerated consulting services now operate in a pluralistic environment becoming an open hub. This represents the new Open Innovation Center in Turin.
