About this Event
The Americas Conference at the INSEAD San Francisco Hub for Business Innovation will provide an exceptional platform to rethink and discuss what innovation and sustainability mean today and how to put new concepts and goals into action to advance business as a force for good.
Overview
Sustainable Resilience: Catalyzing Innovations
Today, companies are asked not just to innovate but to innovate sustainably. To remain competitive, companies must accommodate a business landscape that embraces circularity and demands that companies operate in an eco-friendly, sustainable fashion.
The Americas Conference, to be held at the INSEAD San Francisco Hub For Business Innovation, provides an exceptional platform to rethink and discuss, with senior business and government leaders, INSEAD faculty, and alumni, how companies can integrate environmental, social, and financial factors into their decision-making as well as generate new business ideas and organizational models.
On Nov 10th, we will announce the winners of Karel Cool and Ataly Atasu’s INSEAD’s Business Sustainability Awards. We are honoured to have Andreas Jacobs, Chairman of INSEAD’s Board of Directors, join us for an awards ceremony and celebrations.
