SARAJEVO, December 9 (FENA) - The most important innovation summit in this part of Europe - Sarajevo Innovation Summit 2021, which gathered over 400 participants from around the world, was held this year as well. In addition to the countries of the region, a large number of participants were from the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Italy, Slovenia, South Africa, Brazil and Egypt.
In partnership with the British Embassy in BiH, the Summit opened some of the most important questions of today: How is the health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic accelerating innovation and completely changing the culture of research ?! Is and how much the global crisis we are going through is only "health"? How innovative are we in responding to the crisis? How innovative and should the countries of the Western Balkans be in their response to the crisis?
The statement said that the Summit pointed out that continuous cooperation and connection of education, public and business sectors in order to improve the business environment, but also society as a whole are imperative for sustainable development of today's economy. The COVID-19 pandemic, which began as a health crisis, quickly became a global socio-economic crisis that simultaneously accelerated the digitalization process and became an accelerator of innovation, completely changing the paradigm in business and business culture.
It was concluded that innovation is the only adequate response to the crisis and one way of survival and the COVID-19 pandemic reminded us how important it is to be innovative because innovation is nothing but the ability to see and use change as an opportunity rather than a threat.
