The highlight of last week was the Presidents Summit in Copenhagen with 4,000 participants and several high-profile speakers with themes such as leadership, intrapreneurship and entrepreneurship, innovation and generative AI. So many interesting speakers and VIP talks. Among the most exciting was Dr. Frederik G. Pferdt, Google's first Chief Innovation Evangelist who has trained 25,000 of Google's employees and who believes that we can choose our own future. By turning problems and unexpected challenges into opportunities, we become better at navigating uncertainty. Such a "future-ready mindstate" requires optimism, openness, curiosity, experimentation and empathy. The Professor and entrepreneur Christina Wallace discussed how large established companies can disrupt themselves by partly building their own entrepreneurial systems that support collaboration with the start-ups that develop new technology, partly by creating an innovation culture that allows failure. When I asked about the role of intrapreneurship, she lit up and emphasized that intrapreneurs were the 'necessary sherpas' required to make big companies succeed in continuous innovation. I couldn't agree more… Thank you for this fantastic opportunity to learn and share at the Presidents Summit, Mads Faurholt. #Innovation #Intrapreneurship #Intrapreneurialcapital

Fantastic event with so many good insights.
Very interesting speakers addressing how to handle and drive change, and feel good while you are doing it. Because we will all experience change whether we chose it or not
