Copenhagen Strategy and Innovation Summit

What are the strategic and innovation challenges facing Danish firms in the contemporary global economy, and how should these challenges be addressed? These questions form the theme of an afternoon event brought to you by the Department of Strategy and Innovation at CBS. This free event will feature executive briefings and an inspirational keynote talk about the challenges facing business today. The day will be wrapped up with a light reception for the participants. The event provides a unique opportunity to get insights from business leaders, the latest research from strategy and innovation scholars, and opportunities for discussion and networking in an informal setting.

Registration necessary.
