Abstract
In order to realize the potential of open innovation, a purposive transfer of knowledge between the established actors and potential new service providers has to be established. We have addressed the challenge by applying a sequence of innovation intermediaries involving actors from the local port and students from three bachelor programs. The outcome manifested itself in the acquisition of both tacit and encoded knowledge and served as a milestone in establishing a standard within maritime IT.

Accelerating Acquisition in an Open Innovation Ecosystem
In order to realize the potential of open innovation, a purposive transfer of knowledge between the established actors and potential new service providers has to be established. We have addressed the challenge by applying a sequence of innovation intermediaries involving actors from the local port and students from three bachelor programs. The outcome manifested itself in the acquisition of both tacit and encoded knowledge and served as a milestone in establishing a standard within maritime IT.
