Join us in future-proofing the ways we discuss, practice and experience innovation.
For the past couple of years, Corporate Innovation Conference has been ICT Hub’s annual flagship event, which gathers corporate innovators and entrepreneurs and gives them an opportunity to share experiences, learn from the leading experts and connect with their peers.
The crisis we’ve all felt in 2020 may have hindered certain business efforts, but it certainly did contribute to a rise of many innovative ways of communication, developing and placing products and services, but most importantly – doing the actual work.
With everything going virtual, we are committed to bringing our conference online and making it available to all our peers, associates, fellow innovators and business connoisseurs, coming from Serbia, region and all around the world.
The tagline Innovate now. Be tomorrow. serves to demonstrate our willingness to embrace the new normal, understanding that the future of business depends solely on our continuous efforts to improve, adapt and thrive in the uncertainty of every day’s market.
Last year’s conference saw us giving central stage to the search for new business models, and although it is a key point we will address again, the goal this time is to cover other topics of interest to our community and the innovation ecosystem as a whole, which is why we are organizing not one, but three half-day conferences, each tailored to particular business segment.
We aim to model a virtual conference experience to match the real-life environment, so you will be able to:
Learn about corporate innovation from the top business consultants and company leaders
Gain insights about trending topics and best practices when it comes to cross-industry innovation
Get hands-on advice on how to run and develop innovation projects and programs
Connect and network with innovation experts, tech mavens and peers from other companies and markets
Engage in open and honest discussions about innovation challenges and the impact of a disruptive business environment
