Center for Knowledge and Innovation Research (CKIR)’s 15 Years Celebration Workshop
Research Challenge of Business, Economic and Social Renewal
August 20-21, 2014
Aalto University School of Business, Helsinki, Finland

CKIR will again organize its annual CKIR workshop on August, 20-21, 2014. This year CKIR will simultaneously celebrate its 15 years in business.

The workshop will focus on the ongoing societal, economic and technological transformations and their impacts on people, firms, civic sector and their dynamics from the research point of view. It discusses the consequent challenges and opportunities for industries, cities and policy makers. What are the national strategies for creating new sources of competitiveness and exploiting the existing assets? How does the new role of firms in society challenge the current thinking of efficient knowledge economy strategies, mandates, structures and operations?

Value is created increasingly in new forms of local and global ecosystems, where the interfaces with policy makers and citizens are re-defined. This challenges our perception of the sources of productivity, efficiency and competitiveness. The workshop addresses the trends, dynamics and enablers underlying the changes, and discusses emerging technology enabled opportunities, global value networks and management models. Furthermore, the workshop argues for the importance of public-private collaboration and policy interventions in solving major societal challenges of our time.

The workshop wishes to create shared understanding about the future research challenges and questions. The ongoing business, economic and social transformation may offer even an opportunity to further develop research methodologies for transformative change and experimentation.

The workshop takes place at the Nokia Hall in the Main Building of the Aalto University School of Business, Runeberginkatu 14-16, 00100 Helsinki, Finland.

Workshop program can be found at the end of this invitation.

We’re happy to announce that the registrations for Slush14 are now open.

Hey,

Today we’ve officially launched Slush 2014. Ticket sales are now open and companies, investors and media can register for the event.

Last year, Slush gathered 7000 attendees and 1200 companies from 68 countries, making it one of the biggest tech events in Europe. Slush featured 150 speakers on five stages, ranging from successful founders such as Ilkka Paananen (Supercell) and Niklas Zennström (Skype), to experienced executives like Jorma Ollila (former CEO of Nokia) and Wang Jiang (CTO of Alibaba Group).

This year Slush moves into a new venue. Not only will the move allow moderate growth, but more importantly we can improve the experience for each individual attendee. We’ll continue to bring you great content from globally recognized technology thought-leaders and top startups from the Nordics and beyond.

You can find information on how to register and buy your tickets HERE. Please also note that our limited early-bird offer is now available.

On behalf of the Slush team,
Miki Kuusi
