The 2nd annual Technology Scouting Excellence 2017 conference is a two-day event that runs October 18-19 in Boston, MA, and will focus on helping companies to create and improve technology scouting opportunities in order to stay competitive in an increasingly global business world that is driven by innovation. Traditionally, companies have remained insular and turned inwards to develop innovative products and solutions. However, it is becoming ever more apparent that truly disruptive innovation is best cultivated through problem-solving partnerships and open frameworks. The Technology Scouting Excellence 2017 conference will feature practical insights from thought leaders on how to develop an effective toolbox for driving innovation.
