Welcome to the 4th International Conference on Global, Sustainable Innovation: Towards Sustainable Business, Energy and Society.

REGISTRATIONS OPEN! APPLY HERE

In 2022, three innovation research centres – InnoLab in Finland, CIMR in the United Kingdom, and the Kogod School of Business in the United States – established a network to explore recent research and practical insights into the drivers of sustainable innovation. Each year, we bring together scholars and practitioners to gain a deeper understanding of the factors that contribute to the success of collaborative efforts for sustainable innovation.

The goal is to provide insights that will assist managers, policymakers, and other societal actors in their pursuit of innovations that promote sustainability. We have now expanded this network to include participants from the HERMES Higher Education network and other external partners. This year’s conference will be hosted by InnoLab at the University of Vaasa.

This year the discussion will centre on sustainability transitions and the role universities and other ecosystem actors can play in preparing and enabling them.
