About

Successful innovation doesn’t hinge on the latest technology or creative hotbeds like Silicon Valley or Cambridge, MA. Innovation ecosystems exist everywhere — you’ve just got to know how to engage them. Drawing from their new book, Accelerating Innovation: Competitive Advantage through Ecosystem Engagement, MIT experts Phil Budden and Fiona Murray share a new framework for innovating — and gaining competitive advantage — no matter the market.


In this webinar, you will learn:

  • A practical framework for approaching innovation.

  • Why and how to engage with innovation ecosystems in your own region.

  • How to move past the hype of emerging technologies, including AI, to identify meaningful opportunities for your organization.

  • Strategies for leading innovation amid technological and geopolitical uncertainty.
