Season 1, Episode 5A

The Six ContiNents of Innovation – ASIA, Europe, OCEANIA

The first of two webcasts presented by the global innovation practice Futureproofing :  Next. 

With F:N Webcast Hosts: Sean Moffitt, Andrea Kates, and a special panel of international guests. 

With all of our connected technology, the world may be getting smaller but when it comes to corporate innovation, it’s not quite flat yet.

Innovation around the world has many different nuances given the socio-economic climates, geopolitical aspects, cultural differences, customer motivations, talent mindsets, regulatory conditions and technologies at play in each region.

So we’re going to travel around the innovation world, not in 80 days, but in less than two hours. Along for our expedition, we’ve invited some of the most worldly innovative minds in each geography to get a flavour of how innovation gets done similarly and differently in their respective geographies.

Since there is so much to talk about, we are going to split our world up into two:

– Our early webcast session will canvas the smartest insights from Asia, Europe and Oceania.

– Our later webcast session will travel back to Africa, North America and South America.

What we’ll cover: 

General trends affecting corporate innovation – contrasting and comparing similarities and differences across geographies

Specific regional/geographic issues, regulations, concerns and  barriers to corporate innovation

Specific regional/geographic areas of excitement, optimism and contributors to corporate innovation

Driving technologies, customer shifts, talent and routes to market

Applicable Insights about key global business topics:

  • Fintech, AI and Machine Learning
  • Open innovation, Collaboration and CoCreation  
  • Eastern Silk Road vs.Western Silicon Valley
  • Polarization  of Wealth, Jobs & Beliefs
  • Effective  business models & shiny company examples by geography
