| Abstract |
The present paper describes the Green and Smart (GSF) project developed by the Laboratory of Applied Marketing, Management and Economic of the Wood and Furniture Design and Technology Department of TEI of Thessaly Greece. The project was implemented under the lens of open innovation and industry-university approach and following the theoretical principles of new product development management. The emerging innovation and the way of its achievement is suggested to constitute best practice at sectoral level and a basis for theoretical research on the specificities of academia-based innovation and its application by low-tech industries to relevant global markets. A novelty of the project was the fact that whether projects of its kind result in a physical innovative object or touch upon purely theoretical areas such as hypotheses based on field research or existing case studies, GSF combined the two approaches by producing physical innovation and at the same time by studying the phenomenon by its own evolving case study. |
