Participants of the VIII International Open Innovations Forum in Skolkovo Technopark will discuss integration of innovative solutions into major companies.

Big corporations need innovations to improve their internal productivity and develop new products. With consideration of the digital reality major companies successfully adapt to the external changes and compete with high-tech companies.

“Artificial intelligence, Internet of things, cloud and mobile services together with high speeds of transferring zetabytes of data by 5G networks, change industries, business models and production processes fundamentally. To remain ‘on top’, maintaining competitive advantages in the new world, modern corporations should be ready to change from the inside,” says Ekaterina Inozemtseva, CEO of Skolkovo Forum.

At the Open Innovations Forum analysis of best practices, revealing their strengths and weaknesses, will be made within the discussion “Innovation comes first. How to be a trend-setter in innovations”. The discussion is structured so as to give every speaker a few minutes to talk about the “gaps” in innovation or highest-priority areas for the coming years in their respective companies or industries.

The discussion will be held with Hans-Joachim Odlozinski, Manager DACH, CIS & Africa Services, Global Operations, SAP Co-Innovation Labs, SAP; Vincent Maret, Open Innovation director with Bouygues SA, the holding company of the Bouygues Group; Richard Kemkers, Research Program Manager, Precision Diagnostics, Philips and other experts.
