Concentrations

To deepen the ‘Spark!’ theme, we have designed three concentrations of innovation that participants can choose to focus on during the summit: Social, Firm, and Individual, or participants can mix and match sessions from all three! These three concentrations examine the innovative strategies, concepts, trends and ideas needed to succeed in the future.

Social:
  • How business and technology can benefit society
  • Energy and medical innovation
Firm:
  • Culture, strategy, and positioning for future success
  • The role of the incubator
Individual:
  • Branding and positioning for success
  • Overcoming barriers
