Waiting for Silicon Valley to solve the economic, industrial and social ills in Oceania. It might be smarter to pair advanced technology with local wisdom about region-specific problems. What comes out may be groundbreaking, globally scalable products and services. Cisco operates 12 innovation centers around the world. It taps various entities and individuals to collaborate on unique solutions to regional issues. They might be startups, customers, partners, academia or governments. Cisco goes into collaboration with local professionals eager to get its hands dirty, according to Goryachev. âWe want to work with customers that have real problems, and with startups that can potentially close that gap and help us develop a solution with them,â he said. Cisco has an innovation center in Australia, whose economy centers largely on agriculture. Cisco is working with a consortium there on agricultural innovation through internet of things connected devices, which could possible scale globally, according to Goryachev.
