Born in Berkeley. Built for open collaboration. Now in Europe, empowered by Kaunas University of Technology.
KTU Open Innovation Centre, together with UC Berkeley, is organising the “Berkeley Innovation Forum Europe 2026”, which will bring together business leaders, technology experts, researchers, and innovation ecosystem builders to discuss artificial intelligence, open innovation, and organisational competitive advantage.
The Berkeley Innovation Forum originated at the Garwood Center for Corporate Innovation at UC Berkeley as an executive forum where organisations exchange insights and experiences related to innovation, technology, and business transformation. It is not a traditional conference – the forum focuses on real organisational challenges, practical insights, and open discussions among business leaders.
The forum focuses not only on artificial intelligence itself, but also on how organisations can build competitive advantage in the context of AI-driven transformation – how value is created, what risks emerge, and how open innovation can support organisational growth.
Event format:
• keynote presentations by international experts
• panel discussions on artificial intelligence and innovation
• challenge-based discussions
• executive networking
• the official opening of the KTU Open Innovation Centre
Confirmed speakers:
• Henry Chesbrough, Author of Open Innovation
• Janet George, Executive Vice President of Artificial Intelligence at Mastercard
• Dr Bettina Rotermund, Head of Strategy & Analyst Relations at Siemens Xcelerator
KTU M-Lab, Kaunas
11–13 November 2026
Additional speakers will be announced soon.
Registration opening soon.
