Why a Summit?
This is the 12th edition of our increasingly popular Unleashing Innovation summit. As technology is transforming the way we do business, innovation requires new ways of thinking about our products, our business, and our partners. The goal of this summit is to facilitate dialogue between innovation executives involved in strategy, product development, R&D, business development, and marketing. The objective is to pinpoint where corporate innovation belongs and how to excel it, especially in a digital environment where many new approaches are being driven not only by the companies themselves, but by technological development.
