The pioneer event 2017
50 CEOs | ASX Brands | Leading Innovation Organisations | May 13 2017
On May 13 2017, over 50 CEOs of ASX listed and multi-national corporations and influential VIPs, discussed the state of innovation in Australia, lack of meaningful and valuable engagement between corporates and startups.
The consensus was that disruption is a major and current concern of large corporations and that the solution, way forward is not clear. There was agreement among the group that Australia needs to become a home of world leading innovation and commercialisation.
There was an expression of interest to create / support a movement that was different (from existing marketing based initiatives), focused (an initiative that every organisation could support and collaborate on) and had the power to drive real change for organisations, the economy and people of Australia.
