FEICA Business Forum 'Driving Innovation'

FEICA’s 2017 European Adhesive and Sealant Conference and EXPO takes place in Forte Village, Santa Margherita di Pula, Sardinia, Italy, from 13 – 15 September. Consistently attracting 500+ industry professionals from around the world, FEICA’s Conference and EXPO is the premier event for Europe’s adhesive and sealant industry.

Business Forum ‘Driving Innovation’
The theme of this year’s business forum is ‘Driving Innovation’. We will examine sources of innovation and how they can deliver growth. To capture all sources of innovation, FEICA has taken a broad view of the topic, recognising that innovation can be stimulated from many directions: "pull” from your customers, "push” from your suppliers, from competitors or new entrants to the market, learning from other industries, and, internally, from your own people, working in a culture that nurtures innovation.

To bring an authoritative external perspective, FEICA has once again secured some outstanding keynote speakers.

Already confirmed are:
Dr Hugo Maria Schally, Head of Unit, DG Environment, European Commission. Dr Schally deals with "Sustainable Production, Products and Consumption". In this function he is entrusted with the coordination of the follow-up to the new EU package on the "Circular Economy" and the development and implementation of a number of EU policies and instruments in support of the transition to a circular economy.
Roger Martin-Fagg, Behavioural Economist. Roger is an economist who combines insight into the financial and policy worlds with management strategy. He is an expert in dissecting today’s economic headlines and clarifying their consequences.
