“Empowering the Pan-European Community in a Competitive Global Environment”
23-25 June 2010 / Trento, Italy
Under the auspices of the Autonomous Province of Trento
On behalf of the Province of Trento, the European Alliance for Innovation (EAI), CREATE-NET and co-sponsors, are pleased to announce the European Forum for Innovation (EFI) 2010 to be held 23-25 June in Trento, Italy.
EFI 2010 provides a dynamic platform to hear and interact with key European leaders from public and private sectors (including government, finance, industry, academia and research) proposing substantial new approaches and practices to improve the efficiency and global impact of the Information & Communications Technology (ICT) innovation cycle in Europe.
In support, the Forum also serves as the operational launch of the EAI devoted to leveraging collective pan-European resources, expertise and tactics necessary to build, reinvigorate and capitalize ICT innovation through an open, democratic and community oriented approach.
The 1st day of the EFI agenda will feature high-level keynote presentations addressing current challenges in technology and entrepreneurial innovation in Europe. The discussion will tackle the importance for Europe’s industry, academic, private investment, research, government and scientific sectors to work collaboratively bringing about the level of innovation required to successfully compete on the world stage.
The 2nd day will respond by showing how best to unlock Europe’s true potential with EAI serving as the most important conduit reinvigorating ICT innovation through unified strategic and community “grassroots” initiatives.
For those who share the vision, the 3rd day will empower the EAI Community through special interest group working sessions representing the initial EAI portfolio of Science for Innovation, Business and Technology (SIB) Councils from which the future of Europe’s ICT innovation cycle will be shaped.
