On 12 and 13 November 2015, Europe's most significant innovation congress takes place in the South-Austrian city of Villach. Participants can look forward to lectures by leading international figures from the world of science and economy, as well as the introduction of new concepts and innovations.
Europe's leading innovation congress is set to take place for the seventh time. In previous years, the programme has included great minds such as the Alternative Nobel Prize laureate Huang Ming, Club of Rome contributor Jørgen Randers, global visionary Jeremy Rifkin ('The Third Industrial Revolution'), marketing legend Jack Trout, Nestlé chairman Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, master entrepreneur August Oetker and Intel Labs director Martin Curley.
At the heart of this year's edition are themes such as digitisation, innovative business models, mobility and global trends of the future. The organisers have also added a number of new elements. For the first time, the second-day programme is divided into two simultaneous branches: while the highly popular follow-up events with keynote speakers continue to take place as part of the expanded Innovation Academy, the new Construction Forum will premiere at the same time with an
exceedingly high-calibre cast of speakers.
Another new addition is the Innovation Space – a platform for forward-thinking businesses to pitch their concepts to audiences and investors alike. Representative of the illustrious list of participants, we are pleased to present a short introduction of four keynote speakers for the Innovationskongress 2015:
John and Doris Naisbitt: Prof. Dr. John Naisbitt and Prof. Doris Naisbitt are among the world's most renowned trend and future researchers. At this year's congress, they will talk about new economic power structures and alliances revolving around the axis of Asia–Africa–Latin America, giving rise to new markets and a new global consumer class.
Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker: Prof. Dr. Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker is a natural scientist, sustainability expert and co-president of the Club of Rome, a.o. In his lecture, he will outline why he believes a 10-times increase in resource productivity is possible, how this can be achieved and who benefits from the opportunities that open up in due course.
Deepa Prahalad: Deepa Prahalad is a successful author and internationally acclaimed company consultant in the field of innovation and design. She blogs for the Huffington Post and Harvard Business Review, and ranks among India's most important visionaries.
