The Disruptive Innovation Forum is designed to help you think big and act boldly. Its goal is to inspire you with new opportunities, new solutions and a glimpse around the corner at what’s coming next. You’ll be surrounded by breakthrough ideas and developments that represent a step change in performance, capability, cost or a combination of the three.
We will examine them from a number of angles, using the perspectives of people in the thick of innovation: from some of the industry’s hottest startups.
The Forum is divided into two sessions:
