Innovation Highlights

Dear all,

 

Last week at the CIO Summit Bettina met Paul Leonard of BASF who talked aboutThe Innovation Principle, a notion the CEO of BASF as well as a number of CEOs from other large, European-based organisations are promoting to combat the excessive and burdensome regulation that hampers innovation, suggesting the introduction of some EU wide high quality risk assessment regulation. You can find out more about it at the European Risk Forum's web site. They - as well as we! - are interested in hearing from stakeholders and innovative companies across a broad range of industrial sectors, so please let us know if you have something to share.


 

Now for the German speakers, in August Bettina gave an interview for Survey Monkey about her thoughts on innovation and surveys. You can check it out here.


 
 
 

Finally, we are always receiving  the newsletters of the Food and Drinks Innovation Network (FDIN) - perhaps it might also be for you? To learn more about the FDIN click here.
