Connect

with like-minded corporate innovation professionals

We all can’t wait to be able to meet in person again. On the other hand, the past year has showed us how online events offer unique opportunities to connect with peers around the globe. Our virtual workshops in 2020-21 have been attended by 4000+ corporate innovators from 60 countries.

The Virtual Summit 2021 will be Innovation Roundtable’s main virtual event of the year, offering unparalleled opportunities to connect with 800+ innovation executives from 250+ multinational companies.

The innovation playbook is changing at unprecedented speed. Learning how other corporations across different industries address their innovation challenges, discovering new approaches and understanding what works and what doesn’t is an effective way to boost your personal and your organisation’s innovation capabilities.

Discover best practices and new approaches to innovation from the hands-on experience of senior innovation executives and the applied research of leading academic experts.

Innovation Roundtable events are carefully designed for being highly interactive and, being exclusively for corporate innovation practitioners, are characterized by a unique atmosphere of connecting and sharing. Both in person and online.

The Virtual Summit will feature peer-to-peer roundtable discussions addressing different key innovation topics and challenges and interactive online labs moderated by corporate and academic experts.
