On November 21, we will host our annual Innovation Circle Summit and celebrate 3 years of Nova SBE Innovation Ecosystem.

At Nova SBE Innovation Ecosystem we are accelerating the ability to see the big picture and the potential for what could be.

We believe this is the time to encourage visionary and game-changing innovators, researchers, entrepreneurs, and investors to direct their imagination, their creativity, their energy, and their resources into high-impact ideas, products, services, business models, ventures, and investments that can solve the outstanding societal and environmental challenges we collectively face.

We believe that the fastest and most impactful way to achieve that is innovation. A collaborative, ecosystemic, and visionary innovation.

We believe that it needs to be a movement, being The Innovation Circle Summit the checkpoint for the innovation zeitgeist, the meeting point for the visionary innovators, the cross point for knowledge and practice, and the momentum for open innovation.

Join us!

4.00 – 4.45 pm:

*Discussion Circle I - Tetralemma on better change fast: yes or no?
Tetralemma is a method pointing out to a 4-fold logic where, beyond polarizations of 'yes' or 'no', we also consider all or neither options as part of the debate process and outcome.
In this 45-min dynamic session, led by Nova SBE's Assistant Professor of Management Ricardo Zózimo, PhD, and Nova SBE's Innovation Ecosystem Head Alisson Ávila, we'll explore the pros and cons of better changing fast: what's the point, and what are the arguments to embrace or refuse that?

*Discussion Circle II - Better be ready: working with the new generations

Change is happening fast, and if you want to keep up, you better be ready.

Working with the new generations is key to staying relevant. What unique perspectives do students bring to corporate innovation? How can companies better support and integrate young talent? What challenges do students face when collaborating with established businesses? How do they view big corporations?

Join José Rocha, Co-founder & CEO at Igniteers, Lara Correa, Master’s student at Nova SBE, and Océane Litrico, Innovation Program Manager at Nova SBE, as they tackle these questions and more.
