\"PhilipsLogo-<\/a>A few weeks ago we were surprised the news of thepurchase of Indal by part of Philips<\/a>. Since then we have a new multinational corporation in Castilla y Le\u00f3n. Will the region play its cards right this time?<\/p>\n

Surely this move carries certain threats. We know all too well what the distance from decision-making means: corporations like Philips tend to treat their relations with the local environment with a certain coldness. However, the news also means having a global leader in the consumer electronics, health and wellness sector in our region<\/strong>; sectors without a doubt with a growing market and promising future.<\/p>\n

The challenge for Castilla y Le\u00f3n lies in knowing how to anchor Philips in the local environment and get the best out of this corporation<\/strong>. The key for this relationship to be truly beneficial for the region undoubtedly lies in the capacity to attract and generate new R+D+i capacities in the technological fields in which Philips is a leader<\/strong>. Only in this way will a relevant and sustainable competitive advantage be generated in Castilla y Le\u00f3n, which will not only ensure the presence of Philips but will also allow it to attract new and interesting companies in these fields.<\/p>\n

To this end, an effort must be made to strengthen collaboration with the local business fabric so that the international networks of which Philips is a part also reach Castilla y Le\u00f3n and its companies. At the same time,technology centers and universities should be more closely connected with Philips<\/strong> so that they can participate in joint R&D projects. It is true that Castilla y Le\u00f3n has a still weak innovation system, but initiatives that go in this direction must be initiated.<\/p>\n

Regional innovation policies should already focus on initiatives that Philips has already launched in other territories. In Espoo, Finland, Philips launched Innohub Espoo<\/a>, a space for innovation in the technological areas of work of Philips launched in collaboration with VTT, a Finnish technology center of world reference and the Well Life Center in Espoo. Similarly, Philips has also located its Innohub in Singapore< \/a> where he collaborates with the National University of Singapore.<\/p>\n

These Innohub spaces are open innovation initiatives, places for collaboration with local and multinational SMEs<\/strong>, in which innovation projects are carried out in the fields of work of Philips, mainly in the areas of well-being, health and lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Surely, having a Philips Innohub in Castilla y Le\u00f3n today could only be a dream. However, the arrival of Philips opens up an interesting opportunity for the Castilian-Leonese agents to join forces to try to attract new R+D+i capacities to the region, thus generating highly-qualified employment, so necessary now, and contributing to generating a new knowledge economy. If today we are not capable of attracting an initiative like Innohub to Castilla y Le\u00f3n we should at least ask ourselves why not and what should we do so that in the future a multinational like Philips can decide that Valladolid, and Castilla y Le\u00f3n, is a attractive place to carry out your innovation<\/strong>. Let’s get started in this direction, companies, public and private agents, technology centers and universities so that the dream of being a reference in innovation can one day come true.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
