Oiweek: The Open Innovation Community of Practice

Since 2008, Open Innovation Week (Oiweek) has been the main meeting point for the community that puts open innovation into practice. 109 editions have been held in 15 countries, including India, Colombia, Peru, Finland, and the United States, always promoting the strengthening of networks, the sharing of best practices, and the emergence of new collaborative initiatives.

More than an event, Oiweek is a community in action. A space where corporations, startups, ecosystem actors, universities, policymakers, and investors come together to build the future of innovation.

The network that was formed from this movement already exceeds 300,000 people, with more than 40,000 startups, 10,000 corporations and more than R$20 billion in collaborative projects.

Oiweek LATAM: Where Latin America Meets to Practice Open Innovation

Oiweek Latam is the Latin American version of Oiweek — now in its second regional edition, held as part of the 109th global edition of the event.

Its objective is to expand the integration of Latin American ecosystems through the structured practice of open innovation.

Oiweek Latam was designed in two complementary environments:

» The 4th Latin American Case Congress – held at Porto Maravalley, an innovation hub in the heart of Porto Maravilha (RJ), where leaders and managers of innovation programs, experts, entrepreneurs, researchers and decision-makers will gather to share learnings, discuss best practices and co-create the future of open innovation.

» And the Speed-Dating 100 Open Startups Business Arena – at the Open Innovation Pavilion at Rio Innovation Week-RIW, the business environment that generates thousands of connections, promoting practical collaboration at scale.

Oiweek Latam is purposefully held during the same week as Rio Innovation Week: so that leaders can bring their networks, share their learnings, and practice open innovation at the largest innovation meeting in Latin America.
