The students and administration of ESADE Business School are proud to announce the first annual Innovation Summit focused on encouraging cross-sector innovative learnings and a look into the future of innovation in industries ranging from healthcare to media to cleantech. This student led initiative will bring industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and the academic community together to debate how disruptive innovation can play a role in addressing business challenges.
The ESADE Innovation Summit 2011 will kick off with keynote speaker Wim Vanhaverbeke, sitting professor of "Open Innovation" at ESADE (Spain) and the Vlerick Leuven Gent School of Management (Belgium). Following the keynote address, ESADE students will have the opportunity to debate trends in innovation with business leaders, consultants, and experts in four panel discussions:
- Using innovation to compete
- Design thinking in healthcare
- The mobile media revolution
- Strategies in clean technology
The Innovation Crawl will take place during the second half of the Summit, where strategists from each of the panels will present a case based on a current business challenge. The objective is to provide students with firsthand experience of the issues companies face in an ever-changing business environment and to create innovative strategic solutions.
