Challenges of Change - the future of innovation in a disrupted world

Fongit, The Graduate Institute, Tech Hub, Digital Innovation-Global Excellence Network and the TASC Platform have joined forces to organize the first panel discussion on "Challenges of Change - the future of innovation in a disrupted world" to be held on Tuesday,

15 November from 18:30 - 20:00 CET at Auditorium A1B, Maison de la Paix, Geneva Graduate Institute.

As we enter a new era marked by concurrent crises and global challenges, how we work, innovate, and do business is facing dramatic change. Rising inequality, climate crises, and geopolitical risks are just a few of the factors disrupting business operations, growth, and the global economy. While technological advances power innovation, the speed of change is inherently disruptive. Both winners and losers are inevitable.

In this extremely challenging global context, successful entrepreneurs and workers will be those who can transform this disruption into an opportunity for innovation.

Considering how digital transformation is already impacting the workplace and labour markets, what are the challenges for innovation? How are innovation ecosystems navigating these turbulent waters? What are the implications for business, workers, and policy? And, in the future, how can tech-driven innovation drive inclusive and sustainable development?
