The Intersections of Innovation

Thursday, November 11, 2010

7:00 AM - 9:15 AM

Location: Andy Warhol Museum, 117 Sandusky Street, Pittsburgh, 15212-5890

In the face of constant change, technology and business leaders must recognize and capitalize on the innovation opportunities found at the intersections of global, national and local levels. Join us to learn how both global and locally based companies, investors and investment bankers find and capitalize on innovations and their champions across all sectors.

Our distinguished panel will also discuss:

• Is great innovation fostered by the culture of a region, and if so is Pittsburgh one of these regions?
• How do large commercial partners spot talent in people and products while they are still in the early stages of innovation?
• How is today’s economic, environmental and social climate changing the way successful companies transform great technologies into indispensable products?
• Are there new roles emerging for groups of talent that have been under-tapped in the past?

This one-of-a-kind event will show you the evolution of innovation at every intersection!
