The Global Innovation Outlook by IBM is a worldwide conversation between researchers, consultant or business leaders about innovation that matters. One aim: predict the business and technologies trends of tomorrow. 

The GIO is rooted in the belief that the very nature of innovation has changed in the early days of the 21st century. It is increasingly open, collaborative, multi-disciplinary and global.

This collaboration begins with a series of conversations called “deep dives.” To date, more than fourty GIO deep dives on six continents have brought together over 550 influencers from three dozen countries. 

The differents GIO of the last years focused on areas that represent trillions of dollars in economic activity, have far-reaching societal impact and are ripe for innovation:

  • GIO 3.0 (read the report)
    • The challenges of security in an interdependent global society
    • Social and economic implications of climate change and increasing pressures on water supplies.
    • The new media (is Internet the future of the media? ==> read the report)
  • GIO 2.0 (read the report)
    • The entreprise of the future
    • Energy and the environment
