“Innovation’s Role in Connecting and Empowering Society”
2-4 December 2024, Osaka, Japan.
This conference is organised by ISPIM together with The Japan Innovation Network.
The ISPIM Connects Osaka Conference, “Innovation’s Role in Connecting and Empowering Society”, is a three-day event that brings together 250 innovation management professionals from over 30 countries.
Osaka, the second largest city in Japan, has some specific social issues as well as advantages. The former includes urban poverty, children’s education disparities, healthy life for everyone, and environmental sustainability. Those issues are summarized by the theme of the World Expo 2025, “Designing Future Society for Our Lives.” On the other hand, the latter includes medical clusters, industry-academia collaboration, and the growth of the start-up economy.
The key themes the conference will focus on include:
-
Crisis-driven Innovation
-
Industry-Academia collaboration
-
Start-ups and start-up ecosystems
-
Sustainable development
-
Tackling inequality through innovation
-
Traditional industry development
Engage with fellow innovation professionals from academia, industry, consulting and the public sector. Take part in workshops, hot-topic discussions and panel discussions as well as sessions on the latest academic research results and industry cases. Hear from leading innovation thought leaders and learn about the thriving innovation ecosystem in the Kansai Region – and, of course, experience our great networking events at venues throughout this metropolis!
This conference is in-person only and there will be no possibility to participate virtually.
The main language of this conference will be English but presentations may also take place in Japanese and translation will be provided.
