Decentralized Innovation

Definition

Decentralized innovation refers to the development of new ideas, products, or services that occurs without a central authority or controlling entity. This process typically arises from distributed networks of participants who collaboratively contribute to a project’s advancement. It often relies on open-source principles, allowing for transparent contributions and peer review across a global community. Such an approach can accelerate development and diversify solution types by leveraging collective intelligence.
