Engage with fellow innovation professionals from academia, industry, consulting and the public sector in workshops, hot-topic discussions and discussion panels as well as during the networking events. Hear from leading innovation thought leaders in fireside chats and interviews during the event.
Given the continued uncertainty surrounding the global pandemic, it is our intention to run the Berlin conference as a virtual event.
