To join Corporate Innovation Day, attendees must meet the following requirements:
Must be from a corporation – This event is exclusively for corporate representatives, ensuring a focused and relevant experience for participants.

Last year, Corporate Innovation Day gathered 140 corporate innovation leaders from nearly 20 countries for open, honest discussions about the future of innovation in large organizations. The momentum for 2025 was strong, but after countless conversations with our community, one message stood out: budgets are frozen.
We’ve therefore made the difficult decision not to organize Corporate Innovation Day in 2025. This reflects a broader slowdown across the innovation landscape, but also reinforces why these conversations matter more than ever.
