Introduction to the Conference
Sustainable Innovation 03 is a high profile conference that responds to the recommendation by the World Summit on
Sustainable Development (WSSD) at Johannesburg (www.johnnesburgsummit.org) to "encourage and promote the
development of a 10 year framework of programmes in support of regional and national initiatives to accelerate the shift
towards sustainable consumption and production to promote social and economic development within the carrying
capacity of ecosystems by addressing and, where appropriate, delinking economic growth and environmental
degradation through improving efficiency and sustainability in the use of resources and production processes, and
reducing resource degradation, pollution and waste". Sustainable Innovation 03 is a specific input into the development
of "awareness-raising programmes on the importance of sustainable production and consumption patterns".
"The need to change unsustainable production and consumption would promote innovation, new business opportunities
and job creation....the international community must focus efforts and resources on a number of key areas and set clear
targets. Scientists, businesses, trade unions and consumers must be mobilised in a strategy for a decisive change to use
new technologies and learn new behaviour".
Goran Persson, Prime Minister of Sweden, World Leaders Statement, WSSD, September 4th 2002
Concept
Sustainable Innovation 03 will explore the concept of sustainable innovation from a product, service and PSS viewpoint
by providing a platform for discussion over best practice and new ideas. The event will analyse the problems, barriers
and obstacles to sustainable innovation associated with existing social, legislative, economic and management systems
and will highlight new business, organisational and product development models and opportunities. A unique feature will
be The Living Laboratory that will showcase new product, service and concepts and thinking. Sustainable Innovation 03
will essentially be about new perspectives, thinking differently and will be a learning experience.
The event will combine a focus on the content and process of sustainable innovation at incremental, (re)design,
functional and systems levels. Sustainable Innovation 03 will include invited and refereed papers on the development of
sustainable products, services and PSS from designers, inventors, academics and managers. A core element of the
event will be a number of interactive creative processes on day 1 and 2 designed to enable delegates to think, (re)think
and create sustainable solutions. Delegates will come from large companies, entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized
enterprises (SMEs), as well as creative industries, venture capital, academia, government and NGOs. The learning
objectives of the event will be to raise awareness and understanding of the opportunities for and barriers to sustainable
innovation by providing best practice and new ideas from both developed and developing countries. The conference is
supported by an leading-edge international Advisory Board.
