Opportunities in Open Innovation Experience Sharing in the eRegions

Which components, solutions, or operations successful in one eRegion could be copied, which could be followed, and which are not applicable at all in another eRegion?

Can some guidelines for successful copying be defined and generalized for better understanding of the potential of the open innovation as a concept and as a practice in an eRegion?

How relevant are the outstanding business, government, and academic leaders to the eRegions awareness creation, policy making, or solutions implementation?

Can the neighboring countries facing tensions or conflicts gain benefits if helped in, or pushed into an eRegion development and innovative experimenting in the LLs?
