This forum will address industry’s exponentially increasing need for innovation across all sectors of business which is creating untold difficulties in managing the future of any business. For most, innovation is equated to risk. Innovation – whether technical or business – is an unpredictable art rather than a science. In the past ten years, statistics suggest that companies will get it wrong ten times more than they will get it right.

The forum will be led by senior industrial executives and specialists who manage innovation on a global scale.
