Innovation Summit Europe 2017

Now in its 7th year, the summit continues to run successfully in destinations such as Chicago and Hong Kong and is coming to Europe for the first time in June.

Past innovation summit speakers have ranged from the co-founder of LinkedIn to the chief technologist at NASA, from the chairman of Mondelēz International to the president of Baidu and from the chief digital officer at Cisco to the chief business affairs and legal officer at Airbnb.

Summit Overview

Innovation. A word now embedded into all business vocabulary. Start-ups grab the headlines, but it’s often incumbents who spearhead new products, processes and trends.

With customer loyalty, big data on hand established brand and bigger budgets, these companies often have the power to influence and disrupt not just their own sector but the broader market too.

Businesses from every country and in every industry face disruption.

From designing, making and marketing products and services, to recruiting and retaining the right talent, constant change is no longer the exception but is fundamental to growth.

Innovation is now not just about the product but about the company as a whole.

The Economist Events’ Innovation Summit will consider how businesses can leverage new technologies to improve their models and strategy.

What lessons can the world’s great innovators offer Europe, and what ideas and insights can the region share in return?
