~ Call for Submissions ~
Osaka, the second largest city in Japan, has some specific social issues as well as advantages. The former includes urban poverty, children's education disparities, healthy life for everyone, and environmental sustainability. Those issues are summarized by the theme of the World Expo 2025, "Designing Future Society for Our Lives." On the other hand, the latter includes medical clusters, industry-academia collaboration, and the growth of the start-up economy.
~ Connecting and Empowering Society ~
The ISPIM Connects Osaka Conference, “Connecting and Empowering Society”, is a three-day event that brings together world-renowned experts on innovation management. Researchers, managers, business and thought leaders will share insights on innovation management hot-topics. Submissions from academic, research, consulting, industry, intermediary and policy are encouraged. Submissions on the focus themes are particularly sought.
As the world emerges from the global pandemic, it is our intention to run the Osaka conference as a hybrid event so delegates will be given the option to present virtually.
