The theme for 2015, ‘Innovation Intelligence,’ seeks to address the mystery of creating that illusive competitive edge through new and convergent thinking.

Participants can expect mind-opening experiences that seek to influence and lead current thinking in the field of innovation and the problems ordinary South Africans face.
