Abstract

Piero Bassetti has been a central figure in the development of the concept of responsible innovation. Since its creation in 1999, the Bassetti Foundation of which he is President has been promoting the idea that innovation carries responsibility, playing a central role in the spread and uptake of this idea. Bassetti describes the reasoning and practicalities behind this mission, the influence of his personal position and the Bassetti Foundation’s industrial roots that led it into problematizing innovation.
