About the 18th IGWT Symposium
Technological innovation is one of the fundamental drivers of competitiveness for public and private organizations as well as for countries as it can be useful to create and deliver value in products and services by improving the effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of operations and processes in an increasingly challenging environment.
The innovation process itself is changing with the use of new media and due to the globalization process which affects organizations of any size, sector and country.
