Abstract: Abstract How can trusted and fair cooperation work in practice? Making cooperation work in practice is much more difficult than the theory suggests. Many details need to be addressed to make it happen. This includes (i) a good matching between those with ideas and those able to realise them; (ii) a commonly acceptable code of conduct to trading ideas to establish a benchmark for fairness and thus minimise friction and foster better cooperation; (iii) a transparent feedback mechanism to support building up a reputation and thus incentivize cooperation; and (iv) clear support and guidance throughout the innovation process. It is a new approach. To jumpstart it must be simple yet refined enough to make it work.
