The 11th edition of this invitation-only event brings together executives who are scouting for disruptive technologies and hunting for growth, along with those responsible for far-reaching

new strategies to innovate.

launch new opportunities and learn how to expand their company’s boundaries.

Executives responsible for driving growth, setting strategy, and managing innovation are stuck between a rock and a hard place: They need to pursue ambitious and even transformative programs to ensure their organizations stay competitive in the long-term, but also face relentless pressure to deliver results that have a near-term impact. To manage a portfolio that balances these needs, companies have to be excellent at execution across the board, from generating ideas to developing products to entering the market.

The Lux Executive Summit showcases how some of the world’s top companies and organizations have met these challenges. Leaders from diverse industries describe how they integrate the right market insight, technical capabilities, and strategic partnerships to create and grow new businesses.

New business development and innovation leaders looking for untapped opportunities can start from unmet market needs, breakthrough technology innovation, or strategic vision of megatrends shaping the world – how do companies balance these approaches to generate and vet ideas?

Business unit leaders seeking new ways to sustain performance know they need to integrate the voice of the customer with a strategic view of where the market is heading, while keeping a close eye on the competition – but how do successful firms see through the noise and provide clearly differentiated products and services?

Executives responsible for manufacturing, supply chains, and infrastructure need to understand how emerging technology capabilities, shifts in market pull, and new business models will affect their ability to deliver results – how do leaders use data and insight to separate future winners from fads?
