FT Innovate 2007 November 11, 2007

"Innovation used to happen by chance, if it happened at all. Not any longer. Today, the world’s most forward-thinking companies see innovation as an engine for growth and, therefore, something that must be strategically managed and securely harnessed. It is the new currency of competition. It is the key to organic growth and wider profit margins. It is, in short, the Holy Grail of business in the 21st Century and companies must keep innovating if they are to keep growing.

Building on the success of the FT’s inaugural Innovation summit in December 2006, FT Innovate 2007 will gather the leading thinkers and practitioners from the global corporate community to explore questions that get at the bedrock fundamentals of innovation and bring new thinking to current challenges.

It will provide an unrivalled opportunity to network with the most ingenious lateral-thinkers in the global business community and bring innovation practitioners up to date with the latest trends and developments in process innovation, product innovation, global product development and new business models for innovation."
