Regional Innovation – Central Switzerland
UnBla.07 What can we share what can we learn

Regional Innovation is the main theme of the UnBla.07 conference; and Central Switzerland is the field of application. This region is currently developing a Regional Innovation Strategy. The strategy will help making this dynamic, visible region more competitive and an even better place to live in.
The questions that UnBla.07 addresses are centred around this Regional Innovation Strategy. They cover three main areas:

1. Supporting a whole region to remain innovative
2. Telling the stories of regional innovators
3. The positive effects of disturbing innovation processes

KnowledgeBoard hosted Contactivity at the University of Greenwich on the 10th and 11th April in partnership with The London Knowledge Network and The Gurteen Knowledge Network.

Contactivity was a very practical two day gathering of 64 Knowledge Management (KM) practitioners, academics and consultants, modelled within a Community of Practice (CoP) framework across both the virtual and physical worlds. It was the second event in a series – the first was held at KCC Europe in Amsterdam, November 2005.

KnowledgeBoard hosted the ‘Fringe’ track at KCC Europe in Amsterdam on 7-8 November, 2005. We enjoyed 8 workshops from different KB members and partner networks, all of which were in response to our call for workshops earlier this year.

All of the workshops were different, interactive and stimulating; we had only one ‘sit back and listen’ presentation at the end as a ‘digestif’ and thought leader. Workshop attendance ranged from approximately 10 to 60.
