Innovation is the execution of ideas (big and small) that are novel, unique, or haven’t been tried before—and it can apply to anything from products and processes to systems and experiences. In products, there are tangible features to compare, but in systems or services it can be fuzzier. The session is moderated by Tariq Qureishi who will ask some challenging and thought provoking questions from top industry leaders in Uzbekistan
Companies have a hard time defining what innovation means for them. Let’s debate and explore ideas…
