    Beyond borders:
    Empowering innovation on a global scale

    10–12 December 2024
    Delhi, India


       

    As the world faces pressing global challenges, including climate change and health emergencies, we are in urgent need of solutions that go beyond traditional approaches. Innovation is about creating and implementing effective solutions for complex social, cultural, economic and environmental problems that enhance the well-being of individuals, communities and societies.

    The THE Innovation & Impact Summit 2024 looked at the role of higher education in empowering innovation on a global scale and measuring its impact on the world. It explored fair and sustainable approaches that universities can implement to blend technology, processes and services to address society’s greatest concerns.

    To do this, universities, industry, governments and communities need to collaborate in an equitable and long-lasting way to generate and implement fresh ideas swiftly and efficiently. How can these ideas translate and migrate to have far-reaching impacts on our world? What role do universities play in producing social innovators of the future?

    Delegates joined us for insightful keynotes, interactive panels, live demonstrations, intimate discussions, practical workshops, unparalleled networking and much more.

    Agenda themes

    Disruptive innovation for social change

    Disruptive innovation is a powerful catalyst for challenging the status quo and addressing deep-rooted societal issues. This theme explored how groundbreaking technologies and novel approaches can bridge social gaps, improve access to essential services and empower marginalised communities.

    • What role should higher education leaders, governments and policymakers play in fostering disruptive innovations?
    • How can we ensure that these innovations also benefit those who are most marginalised, rather than exacerbating existing inequalities?


    Leading innovations for brighter futures

    Advancements in space, agriculture and healthcare are shaping a promising future by addressing critical global challenges. This theme highlighted how innovations in these sectors pave the way for a more sustainable and healthier world.

    • Can the rapid pace of innovation keep up with the growing challenges of climate change, population growth and global health crises?
    • How do we balance the ethical implications of advanced technologies with the urgency to innovate and solve pressing global issues?


    Today’s graduates, tomorrow’s innovators

    Equipped with fresh perspectives and a digital-native mindset, today’s graduates are the torchbearers of tomorrow's innovations. This theme underscored the pivotal role of young talent in driving future global advancements.

    • What educational reforms are needed to better prepare graduates for the rapidly evolving landscape of future innovations?
    • How can industries and universities collaborate more effectively to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical innovation skills?
