What’s happening?

Corporate Innovation Summit is an invite-only event ahead of Web Summit, gathering the women and men guiding some of the world’s biggest companies into the future. Answers to questions that keep CEOs and business founders up at night will emerge from intimate roundtable discussions, interactive masterclasses, and networking sessions.

Innovation
You’ve taken stock of how you currently do things, but something tells you there could be a better, more efficient and more effective way. Innovation is about identifying a new way of thinking, implementing new systems, and reinvigorating a business to create value. We’ll discuss the successes, the stumbling blocks, and the tools required to innovate.
Technology
Is tech a friend or a foe when it comes to shaping your company and propelling it to the next level? Whether you’re focusing on internal optimisation or enhancing customer experience, learn how others have utilised technology and are winning the digital battle.
Sustainability
How does climate change impact your industry? Should you be thinking more about the circular economy? Join industry leaders to explore how to future-proof your organisation and to discuss how to grow your business in a world increasingly looking towards sustainability.

Future trends
What should be at the top of the innovation agenda? What are the trends you need to pay attention to and those you should ignore? We keep an eye on the horizon, discussing how virtual reality can bring a whole new dimension to the working day, the various ways to apply AI, and how mobile can help you go stratospheric.
