Mission
The CVC / Open Innovation Summit is a curated, invitation-only gathering of senior decision-makers from leading global corporations.
Our mission is to tackle systemic global challenges by aligning corporate innovation, venture activity, and strategic capital — moving beyond individual deals toward solutions that strengthen the systems our economies depend on.
Vision
Our vision is to build the most trusted global platform connecting and strengthening the innovation systems of the United States, Europe, and Asia, empowering industry leaders to unite capital, innovation, and strategy as a coordinated force for long-term impact across technology, infrastructure, industry, and society.
























Core Principles
Limited to ~80 senior participants per edition (SVP, CxO, Board level)
Closed-door format, no PR, all discussions off the record
Peer-led dialogue shaped by practitioners, not vendors
Themes We Explore
The Summit focuses on a set of interconnected questions shaping how corporations allocate capital, build systems, and lead through uncertainty.
Rather than fixed topics, the agenda evolves around a few core arenas:
Geopolitics, capital, and competitiveness
How policy, power, and regulation shape where innovation happens — and how companies position themselves across regions in a more fragmented world.
Systems transformation at scale
How energy, infrastructure, mobility, and data systems are being rebuilt — and what it takes to design and operate them under real-world constraints.
AI, automation, and the future of work
How intelligent systems and robotics are reshaping operating models, decision-making, and the balance between human judgment and machines.
Capital allocation under pressure
How CFOs, boards, and investment leaders rethink capital deployment — aligning financial returns with long-term resilience and systemic impact.
From strategy to execution
How organizations move beyond pilots — scaling innovation, embedding it into core operations, and aligning capital, governance, and incentives.
Leadership, governance, and responsibility
How boards and senior leaders adapt decision-making, risk oversight, and accountability in a more complex and interdependent environment.
Inclusion, demographics, and human potential
How workforce shifts, aging populations, and inclusive design shape markets, productivity, and long-term growth.
