The Swedish Swiss Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with iKNOW-WHO GmbH have the pleasure of inviting you to our webinar “Co-Creating Breakthroughs in Response to Global Sustainability Challenges”.
Traditionally, many Swedish and Swiss companies have focused on solving innovation challenges mainly through internal resources. While this may have worked in the past, the internal approach no longer works fast enough to solve the significant challenges we are facing in sustainability. Incremental innovation in isolation, with full ownership of modest results is rapidly being replaced by radical innovation in co-creation with fair IP sharing of the resulting breakthroughs.
Who should attend?
We invite executives and managers of sustainability, innovation and R&D to learn from three companies and their experience in pioneering the novel co-creation approach to solve extreme sustainability challenges: Unilever, The Kraft Heinz Company and BASF.
Co-Creation Networks:
Co-creation networks are formed to enable simultaneous collaboration among at least three interdependent teams with different complementary expertise, but having a shared goal to solve a challenge that matters to all partners involved. Co-creation networks embrace inclusion to leverage diversity with focus on transformation of scientific knowledge into commercial breakthroughs that matter for our Planet.
The co-creation networks that are spun by iKNOW-WHO are based on more than 20 years of screening and evaluating 1000+ universities. Curious to know more? Click here.
Don’t miss this excellent opportunity to learn about the co-creation process to solve extreme sustainability challenges.
