GLOBAL INNOVATION SUMMIT 2021

Please register here! >>>> www.gis2021.com

The Global Innovation Summit with its focus on Green Transition, Digital Transformation, and Post COVID developments provides an international meeting place for businesses, innovators, researchers, and funding experts to network, share knowledge, and develop new business ideas. You can also learn about world-wide business collaboration and funding opportunities in Eureka and Horizon Europe.

It includes a colorful programme full of variety. In addition to keynotes and workshops, there will be exciting networking opportunities and more.

The GLOBAL INNOVATION SUMMIT begins as an online event on May 18, 2021, at 09 am and tackles the following relevant topics:

• Green Transition
  The Green Deal as an economic, ecological and social transformation process is one of the centre pieces of political discourse at both international and national levels. One objective of the summit is to support the innovative developments towards green transition and the associated importance of the role of research and innovation programmes.

• Post COVID
  The reconstruction of the economy and international cooperation after the Corona crisis will play an important role in 2021. The summit’s goal is to take stock of the situation one year after the outbreak of the Corona crisis and to reflect on the resulting consequences for the European and international economic and RTI system.

• Digital Transformation
  Digital Transformation and its impact is another priority of this year’s summit. Here we seek to promote networking among innovative international SMEs and global companies from the Eureka network during a structured exchange of innovative ideas with regard to digital and sustainable development goals.

• EUREKA NETWORK
  Currently under Austrian Chairmanship, Eureka is the world’s biggest public network for international cooperation in R&D and innovation, present in over 45 countries. Since 1985, we have funded and supported the R&D and innovation of thousands of breakthrough commercialised products, processes or services that have positively impacted society and helped economies grow. www.eurekanetwork.org

VENUE & DESTINATION

Graz – Austria’s second largest city is a young and academic one and it is a meeting place of innovation, culture, art and history. Known as the “gateway to the south-east” this European Capital of Culture, UNESCO World Heritage Site and City of Design offers more than you might expect…

In the fields of renewable energy and recycling or technological innovation and research – ideas are born and raised in green Styria and their success can be witnessed in both local entrepreneurship and the flourishing start-up scene.

B2B

B2B meetings during #GIS2021 provide the ideal setting to interact and find the right contacts. They are a great chance to have a private 15-minute web meeting with another participant to discuss joint projects, ideas and plans. They allow for a personal networking experience in a virtual event setting!

B2B meetings during #GIS2021 can also be a quick and easy way to meet potential cooperation partners in virtual face-2-face talks. Registration is mandatory under the following link: https://gis2021.b2match.io

Business, research or cooperation profile and Marketplace Opportunities

This is an opportunity to introduce oneself and the company/research institution by publishing a clear profile with detailed information. The more detail (such as organisation background, business offers, research project ideas and interests) one provides, the more one will benefit from the B2B meetings.

#GIS2021 B2B meetings are brought to you by Enterprise Europe Network. This means wherever you are from, there will be an Enterprise Europe Network hub near you that will support you in preparing for your meetings and following up on the outcomes of those meetings after the event.

Top Keynote: Bertrand Piccard

It is in Bertrand Piccard’s DNA to go beyond the obvious and achieve the impossible. From a legendary lineage of explorers who conquered the stratosphere and the abysses, he made history by accomplishing two aeronautical firsts, around the world non-stop in a balloon, and more recently in a solar plane without fuel. A pioneer in his way to consider ecology through the lens of profitability, he began working in the early 2000s to promote renewable energies and clean technologies. SolarImpulse was born to carry this message around the world.
