From Innovation to Impact – Strategies for Sustainable Solutions
Innovation is thriving across the globe – but it doesn’t always lead to impact. Whether emerging from large economies or small indigenous communities, innovation must connect with markets to thrive and create change. The WAITRO Summit 2024 brings together research and innovation leaders from around the world to explore how ideas can scale beyond local boundaries and deliver global solutions.
