As founding partner of Creative City Lab, Innovation Factory is present at the Creative event at Pakhuis de Zwijger.

After the successful launch of the Innovation Managers Network, the young professionals at Innovation Factory launched the Young Innovatives network. Every last friday of the month an open coffee meet-up will take place at a changing (but certainly innovative) location. All information regarding the meet-ups can be found at the Young Innovatives LinkedIn Group.

With the launch of 120Mbps internet, UPC wanted to involve employees and customers. Innovation Factory proposed to start an Idea Challenge amongst employees from ten European countries to come up with new products and services for using this super fast internet connection. Now UPC has decided to open up the challenge for customers in the Netherlands. Do you have a good idea? Submit your idea at http://upc-fiber-power.ideachallenge.nl
