The global discussion platform—Open Innovations Forum—is dedicated to emerging technologies and furthering innovation prospects and collaboration worldwide.

The Skolkovo Foundation is a co-organizer.

Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China will be an honorable guest at the “Open Innovations” Forum 2014.

The focus of the Forum is to unlock the best practices of creative markets disruption, restructuring, and reconfiguration. It is also to understand the impact of this process in different technical areas and in the global ecosystem of innovation. The Forum seeks to answer the tough questions:

• Will low-cost innovations from emerging markets destroy markets in developed countries, and will this decrease the technology gap between developed and developing countries?
• How does the convergence of technology and knowledge lead to technological and methodical breakthroughs in different fields and at their junctions? And what is the long-term goal of technological growth?
• What key high-tech megaprojects will have the greatest impact on the global economy?
• How does new technology wound or kill major companies? What knowledge, tools, techniques, or technology must companies adopt to stay competitive in today’s dynamic markets?
