Innovation Summit speakers have diverse profiles and are active in complex areas of expertise, such as the development of the digital world, consultancy for innovation specific processes, experiential design, business management, research or trends analysis.
Innovation Summit also benefits of Microsoft involvement as main partner of the event, via Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10.
The last 6 months were, for Microsoft, a period of major innovation, during which we launched new versions for all our main products: Windows 8, Windows Phone 8, Windows Intune, Office 2013, Windows Server 2012. Windows 8 is an ambitious change in Microsoft’s strategy towards devices and services and the ecosystem showed a solid increase: over 100M windows 8 licences, over 2,400 devices launched globally, 250M users SkyDrive and 250M apps downloaded from Windows Store. Another important innovation for Windows 8: we launched Internet Explorer 10, with a full-touch version and one that runs Flash, so it would offer the most complete web experience, that cannot be found on other devices

Microsoft’s presence as main partner of Innovation Summit honors us and makes us happy. We have a partner which, during the last 20 years, was in the forefront of digital innovation at international level and offered to business sector the tools that allowed it to be more agile, more performant and more accessible. For us, innovation doesn’t mean just a brilliant idea but more the effort to make available its benefits for a large category of users and probably nobody knew how to make this better, at a global level, than Microsoft. We are convinced that Microsoft’s innovation expertise will be a fantastic plus for the content area of the event
