The fragile contexts of the territory in question can be understood as an opportunity to produce collective socio-economic value, through systemic approaches of open innovation, combining direction innovation processes, guided by design tools, to the involvement of different actors and stakeholders. The aim is to understand, determine and manage the value of the social, economic and cultural outcomes generated by this initiative.
