This event featured a lecture from worldwide expert on rapid-innovation-based industries, Professor Dan Breznitz, and a panel discussion about the meaning of 'innovation' within global business.
The panel discussed how creation and innovation are different, and how continuous innovation can build on creativity. They explored how a strong link between the two can bring about more productive businesses, people and places; and how it could or should make growth more inclusive.
Vital Topics is a series of prestigious business lectures, bringing powerful ideas and original thinking to audiences from the Manchester city-region and beyond.
AMBS has partnered with Manchester's leading property developer, Renaker, to extend this to a global lecture series in four international centres: Dubai, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Singapore.
