The acceleration of the innovation cycle has become a critical factor for competitiveness and growth, and has also created the need for new job roles in organisations. Thus, innovative companies are forced to develop new sets of skills and knowledge for their staff (managers and workforce) such as empathy, openness to innovation, better understanding of customers and partners, creating partnerships, creativity, social value, etc. in order to be more competitive. These are the leading aspects for the discussions and presentations within the conference topics.

The target groups are IT specialists, managers, R&D experts, entrepreneurs, students, start-ups, management consultants, mentors, university & school professors, incubator and accelerator specialists, business developers and PR experts.

The panellists are managers from leading digital companies in Bulgaria and abroad, academicians and R&D managers, university professors, and well known entrepreneurs and business investors.
