Emerce and CM are launching a brand new event called the mobile convention on April 1st 2010 and as you may have suspected Incubator Exchange is part of it. In one of our new theme based sessions, we will invite a selection of corporations with a strong involvement in mobile, incubators with mobile spin-offs and pioneering mobile visionaries and startups for a private get together for all things mobile in Beurs van Berlage.

Attendees for the closed expert session will get the chance to attend the Mobile Convention event afterwards, and get a taste of new possibilites and opportunities in the mobile realm. With over 30 keynote speakers among which Russell Buckley (AdMob) and Steve Wing (The Guardian), Raimo van der Klein (Layar) and Emil Salonen (Mobiento), this is a not to miss opportunity to stay ahead. Please send us an email if you want to attend (very limited seating capacity)

Posted by Auke Ferwerda on March 14th, 2010 in IEX events with 0 comments

Strategyn, Dialogues House, ABN AMRO Marketing and Incubator Exchange would like to invite you personally to join an exclusive get-together with other innovation and marketing specialists and special guest Tony Ulwick (author of “What Customers Want: using outcome-driven innovation to create breakthrough products and services”). Ulwick will make a special appearance at the Dialogues House, on the afternoon of March 30.

We all recognize that innovation is one of the few and perhaps the only consistent source of long-term competitive advantage in most industries and markets. Yet in so many organizations the innovation process is broken! How do we know this? Because cross industry success rates for new product innovations continue to hover around a dismally low 10-30%.

It is of vital importance for companies to improve their innovation success rate. This afternoon provides an important foundation for that change.Tony Ulwick will demonstrate how companies can develop a well-founded plan for growth using the latest thinking and research on innovation. You will leave knowing how to turn your innovation process into a lean, linear and predictable process. A process with proven tools that can be deployed in any organization to dramatically improve the success rate of innovation, create market growth opportunities and boost the bottom line.

Who should attend?
Directors, General Managers, Managers; anyone whose role it is to ensure that their company’s products and services gain profitable market share Marketing, R&D, Business Development, Product Management, Divisional
Management, C-level executives. If you would like to attend, please read on..
