Innovation Pioneers Summit 2023– "Omställningen"

25 – 26 January, 2023 | Stockholm

Innovation Pioneers Summit is coming back in the beginning of January 2023! Meet and connect with over 200+ innovation professionals and thought leaders at Skogehem & Wijk in Lidingö (Stockholm).

This year our focus will be on 'Omställningen' - how we as organisations, societies and individuals can better understand, navigate and innovate in times of change. Together.

The summit will start with an evening of networking and mind-opening activities on the late afternoon / early evening of Tuesday January 24th, and then be followed by two full days of innovation workshops, keynotes and activities on Wednesday January 25th and Thursday January 26th.

As always, Innovation Pioneers Summit is put together in collaboration with our initiators member companies and focused on real-life, hands-on learnings from innovation practitioners and leaders.


Join us for Innovation Pioneers Summit - "Omställningen"! #ipsummit23

"Omställningen"

Welcome to the post-pandemic world. Where old rules are outlived and common truths need to be reevaluated. Climate change, technological advances, changes in human behaviour, hybrid work models and growing political tension across the globe. We as individuals, organisations and societies are in need of a transformation. Or something more than that. A restart. An "omställning"?

This year's Innovation Pioneers Summit is dedicated to 'Omställningen' - to the changes and chaos around us and how we can navigate to create value - for ourselves and the planet as a whole. 


Action-oriented learning

Innovation Pioneers Summit is a learning platform for innovation leaders and learners to develop and share methods, processes, tools and insights together. Key learnings from the summit will be documented and shared with all participants and members, so that they can be reused and taken into action within your own organization.

During the summit each attendee will take part in three out of six summit-tailored workshops hosted by our member companies: Tetra Pak, Ericsson ONE, RISE, Ideon Open, CGI and Lantmännen, and IKEA. More details on each workshop can be found below. (Limited amount of spots on each workshop)

Foresight as the engine of innovation - How global trends are reshaping innovation everywhere

We live in a time when AI solutions make us doubt what is real and not, where a global pandemic has changed where we live and how we work, and where new digital formats divide generations. For organizations it is key to turn tomorrow’s possibilities into opportunities rather than fearing their consequences. 


Katarina Stetler, Director of Innovation & consumer insights at Kairos Future, will share the most interesting trends to keep an eye on right now, and how working future-driven with innovation provides a way to turn threats into opportunities and to unite whole organizations in the journey towards future readiness.

Crazy today, obvious tomorrow - the human perspective to change

Many things that feel obvious in our world today were not so long ago considered crazy. Lots of innovations that we used to think of as science fiction are now part of most people’s everyday life. Revolutionizing technical innovations along with digitalization has accelerated the development of our social evolution massively. But the fast pace is difficult to handle from a human perspective.

In this talk Niklas Madsen from Superlab will tell you about the brains ability and the need to modify, change and adapt in a constant changing world and society.
