Battle on Innovation

WHAT is innovation? HOW do we create innovation? Join our battle at Pumpehuset on Wednesday the 14th of March from 17-19.

There are different understandings of what innovation is, and this battle will touch upon which kind of innovation that is; What is the BEST? The most SUITABLE? What kind of innovation creates value? How do innovation create growth? Can we combine education and innovation? How do students become more innovative?

We are gathering innovation units from the different universities to explore the different dimensions of innovation, value creation and creativity and identify how they each contribute to the Danish Economy.

Thomas Hammer-Jakobsen, Partner at Copenhagen Living Lab, will facilitate the debate and extract it to a conclusive contructive take-away!

The battlefield is set at Pumpehuset on Wednesday the 14th of March from 17-19 and beers for the thirsty will be provided. Sign up for the event here and be prepared to stimulate your standpoint!
