CVN at DDW: From Science to Impact: Building Sustainable Innovation
During Dutch Design Week, CVN and Next Nature are organizing an event at the Evoluon in Eindhoven on Thursday, 22 October, around the theme: From Science to Impact: Building Sustainable Innovation
How do we turn scientific knowledge into meaningful innovation? And how can organizations continue to innovate in times of uncertainty?
The programme brings together different perspectives on these questions:
• David van Walderveen (Head of Strategic Support at DIFFER) and Iris Crassee (Business Developer at DIFFER) will discuss how DIFFER collaborates with industry and uses AI in science to help accelerate the energy transition.
• Susanne van der Velden, author of Lessons Learned from ASML – Building and Sustaining Innovativeness under Uncertainty, will share lessons on how organizations can build and sustain their capacity for innovation.
We will also hear more about 60 years of Evoluon, including the story behind the design of Eindhoven’s iconic ‘UFO’ and a behind-the-scenes look.
The morning concludes with a networking lunch, followed by an optional visit to Strijp-S and one of the Dutch Design Week exhibitions.
The event is intended for CVN members, partners and invited guests. If you are interested in participating, please contact me directly.
