Innovation is more than just a buzz word; it is blurring the boundaries to create newopportunities, it’s causing disruption and it is a key factor for business success. Aninnovation ecosystem relies on complex relationships between entities whose goal is notonly to sustain but also to grow. Relevant parties of a successful innovation ecosysteminclude the material resources (funds, equipment, facilities, etc.) as well as the humancapital (staff, external agencies, etc.). This year's Unleashing Innovation summit looks toexplore the strategies that go into creating and maintaining an effective innovationecosystem by maximizing internal resources whilst not losing sight of the benefits of usingfunctional resources outside of the organization.
