Report

On April 10th, more than 70 guests convened on the "Grazer Murinsel" at the invitation of ACstyria in order to listen to two lectures about the topic of innovation, which were completely different but interesting in equal measure, in a relaxed after-work atmosphere. As Azemina Baltic, Project Leader of ENABLING INNOVATION, emphasised, the venue itself had not been chosen by pure chance: "Our partner companies need to pursue the goal to go with the flow in the leading group - as dynamic as the economic environment may be - even though it may sometimes be necessary to swim against the current. The INNOLounge is the perfect platform for this."

The way this can work out was shown by a first lecture held by Sascha Mundstein (Senior Manager for Digital Solutions & Emerging Technology at Pfizer). Sascha Mundstein outlined his vision for the role of the blockchain technology in the healthcare system. When doing so, Sascha Mundstein presented a model that might dramatically shorten the time needed for the new development of pharmaceuticals. A generalist approach was pursued by Markus Hickl (BDO Consulting), who talked about his experiences he was making in the field of innovation processes within companies as a business consultant. Markus Hickl particularly dwelled on the challenge to put one’s stakes on the right topics. For this purpose, a large portion of creativeness also is needed. Did you, for example, know that Sony is one of the biggest producers of salad? The presentation of methods that should be deployed in companies at innovation processes in order to fertilize the "garden of innovation" was very well received by all guests.

After the lecture, the numerous conversations held in the incomparable atmosphere of the "Murinsel" emphasised that interest in innovation is unbrokenly high in Styria - ACstyria’s research quota amounting to 12%, Styrian companies are among the world’s innovation champions.

This event was co-funded by ERDF (European Regional Development Fund).
