From government policy and strategy, through the science of innovation practice, to cultural and leadership requirements, the delegates took away new knowledge, insight and practical guidance to create truly innovative environments in their own businesses.
We’d like to thank all our speakers, and particularly the delegates for their participation in creating an entertaining and informative debate.
