Background
Eco-innovation is driving new opportunities for products, services, technologies and new business models. There is mounting evidence that eco-innovation improves the capacity of companies to capture new growth opportunities, reduce costs and strengthen corporate image.
Event Concept
This unique event has been designed as a creative mix of presentations, networking and collaborative working. Leading-edge thinkers and practitioners will present followed by a speed networking session that will directly connect participants. This will then be followed
by a Pecha Kucha
style series of 5 minute presentations on personal visions of
eco-innovation. An OpenGreen workshop will be organised in the afternoon.
OpenGreen is an open innovation process aimed at identifying new
income generating opportunities for more sustainable products, services and
technologies.
Target audiences
