Neth-ER and TNO cordially invite you to join the event ‘Orchestrating Innovation: the role of Europe’ on October 24th.


Invitation for our Orchestrating Innovation event

Orchestrating Innovation is an emerging scientific and practical field whose perspective and methods are very useful for the success of innovation. With that in mind, Orchestrating Innovation addresses the following aspects:

  1. Europe is a fertile ground for creating innovative collaborations.
  2. Organizing Innovation and education at regional, national and European level is crucial for tackling global challenges.
  3. Public-private partnerships can succeed when individual interests are recognized and acknowledged.
  4. Orchestrating Innovation provides concrete tools to gain insight into and coordinate these interests (for agenda-setting, organization, governance, financing, etc.).

Together with the present audience and the experts in the new field, the webinar aims to engage in a discussion with you on the following questions:

  • To what extent can Orchestrating Innovation answer European questions such as the green and digital transition and strategic autonomy?
  • Why is Europe important to orchestrate innovation for Grand Challenges?
  • How does Europe impact your personal leadership in Orchestrating Innovation? How can the EU support innovation ecosystems?
