Open innovation includes external knowledge sources and paths to market as complements to internal innovation processes. Open innovation has to date been driven largely by business objectives, but the imperative of social challenges has turned attention to the broader set of goals to which open innovation is relevant.

Against this background we introduce the articles published in this Special Section, which were originally presented at the sixth Annual World Open Innovation Conference. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
