Impact Innovation mobilizes Sweden's innovative power
Are you curious about how far Sweden's innovation initiative Impact Innovation has come? Welcome to a breakfast seminar on May 6th where we will share early results and important lessons that show the way to groundbreaking innovation, both relevant for Europe and globally.
The seminar is aimed at those of you who are interested in how large-scale system change can contribute to better decision-making and policy development for a green transition and long-term competitiveness.
During the seminar, representatives of the five Impact Innovation programs share early results and key lessons from initiatives from leading efforts to mobilise innovation for the green transformation, strengthening resilience and competitiveness in Sweden and Europe.
An expert from the OECD Mission Lab discuss the impact of mission‑driven initiatives, and a leading academic voice offers perspectives on why societal transitions are both necessary and difficult, and how they can be made real in practice.
The seminar is arranged by Sweden Innovationx and is held in English.
