With all of our connected technology, the world may be getting smaller but when it comes to corporate innovation, it's not quite flat yet.

Innovation around the world has many different nuances given the socio-economic climates, geopolitical aspects, cultural differences, customer motivations, talent mindsets, regulatory conditions and technologies at play in each region.

So we're going to travel around the innovationworld, not in 80 days, but in less than two hours. Along for our expedition, we've invited some of the most worldly innovativeminds in each geography to get a flavour of how innovationgets done similarly and differently in their respective geographies.

Since there is so much to talk about, we are going to split our world up into two:

- Our early webcast session will canvas the smartest insights from Asia, Europe and Oceania.

- Our later webcast session will travel back to Africa, North America and South America.

What we'll cover:

General trends affecting corporate innovation- contrasting and comparing similarities and differences across geographies
