Innovation in Eastern and Western societies: A qualitative analysis of Startup Weekend events in Sweden and Taiwan

Innovation contests have become a fruitful strategy to strive for innovation over the last decades. This study takes place in the context of an open access innovation contest in Sweden and Taiwan. Prior research shows a difference in the number of projects that continues after the event. Therefore, this research aims to find out how these events are organised and facilitated. A review of existing literature on project success identified four key areas of success and an ethnographic study that included the observation of project teams during innovation contests in Taipei and Stockholm showed that local adaption of the format contributes to the outcome of the event.
