Symbio and SIME are honored to invite you to the Co-Innovation Summit in Stockholm on May 27, 2011.

Continuous innovation and fast time-to-market are key prerequisites if you want to be a winner in today's competitive market place. The technological complexity and possibilities to adopt new emerging technologies pose however challenges for most companies.

The notions of product co-creation and co-innovation, one of the most notable innovation trends according to Business Week, offer interesting possibilities for cutting-edge companies in all industries when it comes to mastering these challenges.

In the Summit our renowned speakers will shed light on successful product co-creation and co-innovation strategies. During a couple of intensive hours you will learn about the art of innovation and global innovation trends from Silicon Valley to China. In addition three innovation managers will share their insights on key success factors in innovation and three Swedish growth companies will tell how they are using co-innovation to stay at the top.

The hosts of the event are renowned co-innovation leaders with global expertise: Symbio's CEO Jacob Hsu, who has been ranked by CEO Magazine as one of the most important new leaders in Asia and SIME's Ola Ahlvarsson, a jury member of World Economic Forum's Tech Pioneers.
