The European debut of the Innova FLANDERS conference, with pure focus on innovation
More than 50 innovation experts inspire organizations with exceptional insights. In Belgium soon.
Innova Flanders, the first European edition of Innova, will take place in Ghent, Belgium on 15, 16 and 17 June 2022. After previous editions in the United States and Colombia, European innovation enthusiasts can now also be inspired and trained extensively by top global experts in the subject.
Organizer Don Keleman of IXL Center Belgium: “Organizations want and need to innovate but how they go about it is still a question mark for many. During Innova Flanders 2022, we want to inspire all participants and let various (inter)national innovation experts reveal their approach in the race towards strategic growth. So it’s really about results, and only about innovation”
A unique program
With a choice of more than 50 top speakers, participants can compose their own personal program according to their industry or interests. Many of these experts will be seen for the first time in Europe. This is no coincidence, as Innova Flanders takes pride in ensuring that the entire three-day conference is permeated with innovation and insights that participants have never heard of before.
With keynote speakers from companies such as Verizon, AB InBev, NASA, Trendwolves, IBM and Vito, Innova Flanders frame innovation both globally and locally across 6 central topics: digital transformation, sustainability, employment in the 21st century, robotics, healthcare and education,
During the break-out sessions, participants will go deeper into 4 themes, each time from different angles and industries: social innovation, ecosystem innovation, open innovation & innovation management
