   abstract = {To solve the problems of entrepreneurs, drawing on the experience of regional companies
and knowledge of academics, professors, and students, we designed a brainstorming
evening party, allowing all these players to meet at our university. In a short format, a
company is invited to present one current problem encountered in its business. A professor
deepens the notions thanks to a short and focused state-of-the-art contribution, followed by
round tables in the form of a world caf{\'{e}}, to look for possible solutions with students, professors
and other entrepreneurs who share their experiences. Finally, at the end of the meeting, the
leader of the challenge is asked to present the best ideas identified. This event allows both to
reinforce the social capital between entrepreneurs of the region valorise the entrepreneurs'
experiences, and the knowledge of the professors and the students. It is also a collaborative
open innovation strategy involving multiple regional stakeholders tested in our Living Lab. Our
contribution aims to present the process with its benefits and limits to offer the possibility to
transpose it in other regions.}
