Open Innovation and Crowdsourcing Projects List…
Although I’ve highlighted a good number of these already, Openeur has a great list of on-going crowdsourcing and open innovation projects. Shows the range of cool stuff happening and points to the possibility for much more to come.

Some really good stuff on here. Very interesting to see and also some stuff we can all learn from.
I will be looking for some good examples myself.
I’ll keep you posted.
