Over the past nine months, we have been crafting a new Innovation Ecosystem, connecting companies’ internal innovation efforts to broader ecosystems in and around the industries of Healthcare, HR, Logistics, Mobility, and Utilities.
The cornerstone of our Innovation Ecosystem is a series of Hack Events - B2B hackathons adapted for the purpose of business and technology innovation, and aimed at solving practical, current, specific, high-priority challenges across several industries.
To go online, or not to go online with events?
That is the question!
A year into the pandemic, we see that across most industries there is a clear need for more time to adjust to the uncertainty of the rapidly evolving situation, making it very complicated for companies to invest time and resources into long-term innovation.
Over the past year we’ve experimented with online ideation workshops, online Design Sprints, and even translated our classical hackathon experience fully into an online one.
Though online innovation events can certainly produce useful results, we have come to believe that innovation events require a level of collaborative creativity that online events are, unfortunately, simply unable to deliver.
That is why - with the notable exception of Hack Healthcare - we are postponing our other events to the autumn of 2021, and some to the spring of 2022.
We will communicate the final dates when we are sure they'll be… well, final.
The scope of the events obviously stays the same: so give us a shout if you are interested in bringing a breeze of fresh ideas into one of those industries, or into another one not yet on our list.
