Origins of Open Source Economic Development
BACKGROUND: More About Open Source Economic Development
Open Source Economic Development was created by Ed Morrison, I-Open Co-Founder and now Regional Economic Development Advisor at Purdue University’s Center for Regional Development where he leads a practice for regions called “Strategic Doing”. More about the program here.
Open Source Economic Development is driven by human networks - and like the laws of natural systems always moves forward catalyzing transformative enterprise development and generating creative, entrepreneurial cultures.
We have a simple vision: We will leave to future generations a regional economy that is creative, innovative and sustainable with opportunities for any individual prepared to grasp them. ~ Ed Morrison, Co-Founder, Institute for Open Economic Networks (I-Open) and Regional Economic Development Advisor, Center for Regional Development, Purdue University
I-Open Civic Wisdom
I-Open shares the stories of civic entrepreneurs to foster Open Source Economic Development.
Gleaning the insights and innovations from the experience of other developers, we are empowered to improve our own circumstances and notice choices we might not have otherwise.
I invite you to join me in extending gratitude to the civic entrepreneurs who have contributed their insights and innovations to I-Open’s library for sharing, to propel invention and discovery forward, and to foster economic development around the world.

I-Open Principles
We have a simple vision: We will leave to future generations a regional economy that is creative, innovative and sustainable with opportunities for any individual prepared to grasp them.
We are pursuing a simple strategy: Brainpower matters. Regions will be transformed by open networks of innovation and collaboration with colleges, universities, libraries and schools as nodes in these networks.
We have a simple credo: We will prosper by treating each other in ways that build respect and trust.
We have a simple purpose: I-Open will help facilitate the transformation that is already underway in regions. We will teach and share the best ideas we can find to build open innovation networks in for regional development.
