In his keynote speech, James Sommerville from Great Britain will illustrate the great importance of product design in driving innovation and fostering growth.

On World Earth day, Dr. Gabrielle Walker will address sustainability issues. The lecturer, author and climate expert will discuss global challenges focusing on sustainability, energy consumption, circular economy, and climate change. As a strategist, she advises companies on future investments and process optimization and the impact that changing business models can have on a company’s corporate identity, external influence, and acceptance.
