Why Should Established Companies Empower Their Employees for Innovation, and How Can They Do It?

The Podim Conference is a unique opportunity to take your career as an innovation manager to the next level.  

With the help of innovation, companies develop new products and business models or make their operations more cost-effective, ensuring their long-term survival and success. The emergence of new technologies and increasing competition pressure from startups compel companies to change their existing approaches and product portfolios. 

Many renowned companies have already fallen short on this test, being “destroyed” by startup companies or breakthrough solutions from innovative firms that boldly embark on the path of internal innovation.

Therefore, it’s crucial for established companies to empower their employees for innovation by embracing the entrepreneurial culture of startups and utilizing the latest tools, approaches, and technologies. 

You can get all of this in full swing at the PODIM conference! Networking with startup entrepreneurs, who enthusiastically leverage new technologies and shape new business models, will inject your colleagues with a surge of positive energy and motivation for accelerated innovation.
