Science Based Economy” at the Latvian Academy of

2023. Latvia along with Estonia and Lithuania are the members of
NATO, the European Union, the Eurozone, and the OECD. Dr Kannan
Vishwanatth has been invited to speak on the urgency of Open
Innovations & the power of open minds & how open innovation offers
benefits for all including enterprises, institutions.

The Economic Forum will witness the participation of top entrepreneurs,


academic professionals, researchers, Policy makers & industry leaders.

Speaking on this Dr. Kannan said “Open innovation, the practice of


collaborating with external entities to co-create new value, has become
essential to business success. As organizations face a slew of
challenges ahead of them, especially the issue of sustainability, they will
need to harness the potential of open innovation to shorten
organizational response time and capitalize on future opportunities.
Today’s market dynamics present a critical opportunity for business
leaders to revisit their strategies. The need for enterprises to be fast,
agile, responsible, and innovative is not an option – it is a must. Yet
innovation is too often seen as a separate effort, rather than a core
element of the business. Amidst the gloom and doom of the early
months of the Covid-19 crisis, something surprisingly uplifting started to
happen: Companies began to come together to work openly at an
unprecedented level, putting the ability to create value before the
opportunity to make a buck”.

Urgency leads transformation. Artificial intelligence is at the center of the


global technological revolution Science, technology, and innovation are
cornerstones of the American economy. They are also dominant forces
in modern society and international economic development.
Strengthening these areas can foster open, transparent, and meritocratic
systems of governance throughout the world.
Dr Nina Linde, The Institute of Economics of the Latvian Academy
for Sciences while announcing the event said “The aim of the VI
International Economic Forum is to analyse the role of human creativity
and the potential of international ecosystems for the development of
open innovations, as well as to present the world’s best practices and
evidence-based, practical solutions to achieve a higher level of well-
being in our globalised society. The successful practice of five previous
Economic Forums is continuing, that the Forum serves as a platform for
the exchange of experience and cooperation of scientists,
entrepreneurs, and politicians, stimulating the entry of local and foreign
investment and the development of an innovative economy in the long
term”.
