The keynotes address 'Convergence: Innovating Through Collaborating Across Communities' was delivered by leading innovator, Dr Bettina von Stamm. Dr von Stamm said; "What if more companies started to collaborate across industry boundaries? What other exciting opportunities could be created? That's really exciting, but an even deeper motivation comes from looking at all the challenges we are facing at the economic, environmental and social levels. How can we possibly address them if we are continuing on existing trajectories? So, convergence is the way forward for me, whether it is to create amazing opportunities, or address or big and scary challenges."
