Sustainable Innovation Day will take place on Tuesday, April 12th 2022 in Conference Center High Tech Campus Eindhoven. In the heart of the industry; the most important industrial region of the Netherlands.

Sustainable Innovation Day is the annual conference in Brainport Region South-East Netherlands with (inter) national allure. Organized by & for management, (line) management, professionals and advisors in the field of Sustainability, HR, IT and Innovation within the (High Tech) Industry.

The (high tech) industry is at the start of a comprehensive transition to more sustainable business operations. Dutch, European and global climate policy represents a fundamental change for the industry. The Dutch (high tech) industry is at the forefront of innovation and has the opportunity to develop itself to become the place for (European) sustainable companies to do business. We have all the necessities available: from a highly educated technical workforce to an excellent location for trading and transporting industrial raw materials and goods.

The question is not whether you are going to start making your operations more sustainable. The question is; where do you start? In dialogue on: which transition is necessary for more sustainable business operations within the high tech industry? What challenges will we face, and how can we overcome them? How can we grow towards a sustainable future? Sustainability as an integral part of your organization is a must in becoming purpose-driven. Working on sustainability means working on: HR and Workforce - Environment and Climate - Sustainable Innovation and Tech
