Last year Ireland had interesting open innovation program which shown good results (ideascampaign).

This year contest looks nicer 😉 and it has prizes, also they took Brightidea software to support it. I think that they learned from last year and this knowledge is keeping them on right track. Certanly, the right track is open innovation.

These concept could be the example for other countries, specially to countries which have large diaspora(like my country – Croatia).
