May 2008
3rd Innovation Conference Munich
Event: This conference is a follow up event to the conferences held in s‚Hertogenbosch, Netherlands, 2007, and Stockholm, Sweden, 2006. The aim of this series of conferences is to foster innovation in the participating regions and to improve regional innovation policies by collaborating and sharing knowledge and experience throughout the regions.
The over 100 participants of the Innovation Society Conferences represent an impressive number of European Metropolitan Regions ˆ all of them leading economic and innovative centers in the European Union or, at least, significant economic centers in their home countries. The regions are the very locations where innovation takes place, they are the base of the competitiveness of the European Economy.
Based on the results of its predecessors, the Innovation Conference 2008 will focus on the concrete experience in the regions. The key note speeches will address the functional role of City-Regions in the innovation process, analyse the success and failure of the different innovation strategies and will try to give an answer to what is needed in the regions to make Europe more competitive.
Together with our regional and European Partners we developed four thematic workshops and one project-oriented workshop.
