Mini-Conexkt Days teaches tools for post-pandemic digital development

 

Conexkt virtually convened entrepreneurs, innovators, scientists and policymakers from around the world last week at Transformation Numérique: our Mini-Conexkt Days series. The conference served as a space for experts and enthusiasts alike to pass on their insights, pose questions and provide practical pointers about innovating amid today’s digital landscape.

The event followed the marked success of Innovation Crisis: our first Conexkt Days event. Realized in November 2020, Innovation Crisis engaged authorities from more than 12 countries to discuss the current state of areas such as place branding, public relations and artificial intelligence. This time around, we built on those ideas and explored these areas’ potential future directions.

Transformation Numérique comprised two 50-minute seminars – each sectioned into a 20-minute expert presentation and a 30-minute Q & A session. The first seminar took place Tuesday, May 25 and featured Emilie Bruchez, community manager at Science Valais, focused on co-ordinating online events. The second, on Wednesday, May 26, saw Dr. Annaële Hervé and Dr. Maurizio Caon, both from the School of Management Fribourg, break down digital transformation for small- and medium-sized businesses.

This mini-Conexkt Days event precedes our second annual Conexkt Days, which will be held in the fall of 2021. Check out the conversations on YouTube and sign up for our quarterly newsletter below to stay up-to-date with all things innovation.
