Meet with Innovative Minds

INNOVATION IN MIND is an annual event aimed at people who are curious about the future and want to see new connections and opportunities. The point of departure is that all innovation begins in human consciousness, and often through cross-boundary meetings between different areas of knowledge, between resources and needs, between questions and answers. The aim of Innovation in Mind is to be an arena for such meetings — to encourage new perspectives and new ways of thinking, and to contribute to a better climate for innovation. Lund University and Region Skåne arrange innovation in Mind in cooperation with VINNOVA (The Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems), the City of Lund and partners.

Some starting points for INNOVATION IN MIND 2010:

• New perspectives and the ability to accept new thoughts and ideas is decisive for the successful renewal of companies and organizations. INNOVATION IN MIND 2010 shows how this works in practice.
• To enable innovations to flourish, the development of knowledge must answer up to people’s real needs. INNOVATION IN MIND 2010 shows how close contact between needs and research can produce astonishing results.
• The challenges of today and tomorrow place enormous demands on our ability to innovate. INNOVATION IN MIND 2010 will give you spanking fresh insights into developments in some of the hottest areas, and how they will change the way we live.

Our ambition is to provide you with knowledge, understanding, perspectives, insights and new contacts that you can implement in your daily life — and in the way you think.

INNOVATION IN MIND 2010 will take place in and around the University Quadrangle in Lund for 24 hours, starting at noon on 11 November.

We have invited a number of outstanding innovators and experts on innovation from various areas. We will participate in a number of exciting tales, theories, predictions and actions, lines of thought that meet and ideas that are born. And just as important as what happens on the stage and in the rostrum are the spontaneous meetings, conversations and exchanges of ideas that will come up when so many people with common interests and innovation in mind gather in truly exciting surroundings. So come, take part and be inspired!

Reserve the 11–12 November for an experience you wouldn't want to miss.

Welcome to INNOVATION IN MIND 2010 — a great way to keep up with things.
