Cultivating creativity - Harvesting innovation

Today creativity and innovation have become the driving forces of our economy and society. Innovation can be considered as the creative output of an ongoing process that develops and applies new knowledge to work, life, product and services.

A new field is emerging for innovation where economic, technological, social and cultural trends move more closely. This new field is not located in distinct domains but is situated at the intersection and crossover where different knowledge domains, institutions and people connect and engage.

Connecting Innovation is an event that will explore this new field of innovation investigating the interplay between diverse disciplines and exploring new innovation strategies for the knowledge based society. What are the advantages of an open approach to innovation? Why are multidisciplinary team more effective? What role does culture play in innovation? These are some of the topic that Connecting Innovation will explore.
