Targeting Innovation

Winning Through Innovation is a series of events with a compelling programme of motivational speakers drawn from exemplar companies and leading management theorists as well as examples of Scottish success stories where innovation has made a difference to local companies.

The emphasis is on raising awareness of the importance of innovation in its widest sense within your business, illustrating the need for and the benefits of successful innovation to business and inspiring the desire to act.   

As well as being informative and providing encouragement, the event brings together key public sector support organisations involved in Innovation to enable and assist companies and individuals to pursue the development of innovative new products, processes and services at whatever stage of the development they find themselves.

Speakers include Doug Richard, who appeared in the first and second series of Dragons' Den. Doug is a successful entrepreneur with 20 years' experience in the development and leadership of technology and software ventures. He is an Honorary Recipient of The Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion and a fellow of the RSA.

Hosting the event is Kaye Adams, one of the country's most experienced live TV and radio broadcasters. Away from her many broadcasting and writing commitments, Kaye is also well-known for her corporate work. Because of her extensive experience of handling live and unpredictable situations, she is the ideal facilitator for conferences.

Open to all existing businesses in Scotland. Places are free and up to two delegates per company are welcome.
