Entering the Next Era of Innovation – Is AI Already a Game Changer or Still Just Talk?

AI is everywhere - tools, pilots, bold promises. But what’s truly delivering impact? And what does it take to scale AI across the organization instead of just talking about it?

What to expect?

Innovation is at a turning point. AI is advancing at unprecedented speed, market dynamics are shifting faster than ever, and the pressure to act strategically - not just experiment - is growing.

At the Innovation Brunch in Zurich, co-hosted by ITONICS, Vorwerk, and PostFinance (VNTR), over 40 innovation leaders and experts come together to cut through the noise and focus on what actually works. This is not about theory. It’s about execution.

Through a highly interactive mix of keynotes and curated roundtables, you’ll explore:

  • How leading organizations turn data into actionable consumer insights
  • What it really takes to accelerate time-to-market with customer-centric innovation
  • How to translate foresight into products that succeed in the market

Expect honest conversations, practical lessons, and real-world examples.

And most importantly: space to engage, challenge perspectives, and co-create with peers facing the same questions as you.

What's in for you?

This event is designed for innovation leaders who want to move from exploration to impact. 

You’ll walk away with:

  • Clear perspectives on how to leverage consumer insights and analytics for real business value

  • Proven approaches to turn data into better, faster strategic decisions

  • Concrete examples and best practices from companies actively scaling innovation

  • Meaningful connections with a curated group of forward-thinking peers

The goal?
To equip you with actionable insights that help you drive smarter, faster, and more impactful innovation; beyond pilots and into real transformation.
