FPInnovations is excited to bring a different kind of event to an industry in transformation. FPInnovates, a new innovation and technology conference is making its debut in Montreal, QC, November 25-26, 2015.
As a recognized innovation leader in forestry research, FPInnovations conceived this event to inform, inspire and change the way we think about innovation and collaboration in the sector. The conference offers a forum where business leaders, researchers, government representatives, academics and students can step outside the box to come together and build a common understanding of innovation and its impact on collaboration.
FPInnovates' diverse program offers insights on the process of innovation and how your company can do it better. Take away a fresh perspective on innovation in its many forms and fire up that creative spark.
