Building Innovation Capacity

Run in association with NUI Maynooth this programme aims to enhance the innovation capacity necessary to harness existing knowledge and convert it into effective business initiatives for your organisation.  

On the premise that effective innovation is much more than R&D and that it is necessary to connect with and align every aspect of an organisation/business, some of the central dimensions of innovation focused on are as follows:

• Common models of innovation and the key principles and techniques involved
  
• Financing of innovation, sourcing the finance and how it should be managed
  
• The transition from knowledge creation to innovation
  
• Communication networks developed in companies and with external sources of technology
  
• Building innovation capacity in the progression to an innovation island
  
• The role of foresight in developing the strategic capacity necessary to establish a sustainably competitive economy.

Aimed at scientists, engineers and technologists and also those engaged in the management and administration of these functions in both public and private organisations.  To see an overview click here or to receive a full programme schedule please call 01-4727101.
