On April 11 Skolkovo, the international tech hub on the outskirts of Moscow, will host the second edition of the Corporate Innovations conference. This year’s motto is “NextTech for business,” with an emphasis on digitalization tools that concretely help businesses address their challenges.
Top managers of corporate giants – including Russian Railways, Rostec, AstraZeneca, Mail.ru Group, VTB Bank, Auchan Holding, Bayer, MTS, SIBUR – are expected to participate in the conference.
Attendees will receive the opportunity to meet:
- prominent industry digitalization experts;
- providers of cutting edge solutions;
- customers seeking such solutions;
- and a variety of other industry professionals.
They will also receive a unique opportunity to get acquainted with practical cases of industry digitalization, as well as fresh information on the current startup market.
According to Kirill Kaem, Senior Vice President for Innovation, Skolkovo Foundation, “the event has become a kind of catalyst for interest in the mechanisms of searching and integrating new technologies. Corporations in which innovation development plans have always existed have been able to get convinced that open innovation is not just a slogan, but a set of practical tools. All participants are experienced managers and they exchange by practical approaches. Many of them have already tested the obtained approaches, having conducted in 2018 corporate acceleration programs with Skolkovo and other institutions.”
More than 30 speakers, 300 participating companies and 500 guests attended last year’s edition of the event.
