Innovation possesses "doing good" character. By applying innovations wisely, you can create products, services, and technologies that not only solve but that also spare and improve.
Innovation can help to correct existing products and services, it can create alternative solutions or prevent adverse effects on nature, health and long-term wellbeing. Innovation can be both a final product and a tool.
Innovation can help address a variety of challenges, including those currently associated with the existence of planet Earth. Action to stop climate change is a priority across Europe, in every country, in every community - you can't put off! This should be kept in mind for everyone – the consumer, the producer, and the scientist.
For the second year already, Vidzeme Planning Region organizes an innovation conference within the framework of Vidzeme Innovation Week. We will continue to encourage the Vidzeme people to strengthen the spirit of innovation in 2020, but we want an innovation-rich environment where our innovators will create new products and services, filled with smart decisions, responsible behavior, and sustainable solutions.
That's why this year's Innovation Conference is called "Responsible Innovation".
How do Vidzeme people go about innovation? What do we already know that has surprised the world?
The conference topics include:
CULINARY CREATIVITY. BIOMASS. FORESTRY RESIDUES. ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN BUILDINGS. SMART MUNICIPALITY. INNOVATIVE ENVIRONMENT. FOOD INNOVATIONS. VALUE CHAIN.
Three parallel sessions will also be organized as part of the conference. Listeners are offered a free choice to select topics of interest during each of the three sessions - after each expert presentation, time will be given to change sessions and select the most interesting topics.
