Join the open network For 10 years 6 Minutes of Serendipity has detected, coached and highlighted projects that use information and communications technologies to enable innovative services, behaviours and practices.    6 Minutes of Serendipity's network and events bring together digital industry pioneers, regional economic developers, social economy entrepreneurs, artists, investors, users, and innovators. We are interested in building partnerships towards a common open innovation network. We hope to co-organize 6MoS with partners in other countries or regions, as well as with industry organizations or large companies with an open innovation strategy.
