innovatours Manifesto

Travel ◆ Innovation is a journey. “Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.” – Andre Gide. Travel is a part of education. Most importantly, it is a part of innovation.

Expect Participation ◆ The era of one-way communication is over. Participatory dialogue is the way forward.

Don’t Judge ◆ No rush to jump in quick solutions. Holding the space for other thoughts will open your mind to new possibilities.

Build On Each Other’s Ideas ◆ The best ideas come from collaborate effort and collective imagination. So put yourself out there, they won’t bite.

Welcome Uncertainty ◆ Everything should not be strictly structured and planned. Leave some space for creativity and leaning into the unfamiliar is the only way to create something truly original.

Have Fun ◆ Always have fun and enjoy whatever you do. Happiness is socially contagious. Work hard, play hard.

Trust The Power Of Tools ◆ Life is in constant flux and experiences unfold in every moment. Don’t fall prey to easy solutions and quick fixes. Learn to use new tools, try new ways.

Fail ◆ Make mistakes. Fail and learn. Don’t take yourself too seriously. By acknowledging our failures, we can transcend our egos and learn for the future.

Themes

During innovatours Barcelona, we explore four themes; Food Innovation & Leisure, Future Cities & Mobility, Fashion & Luxury, Media & Creativity.

Since we met first year in 2018, we’ve been engaging the innovatours community in exploring what content to fill these themes with. What are the most pressing issues? What is a perspective that’s relevant but rarely represented?

The result is a broad range of topics. A content that is relevant regardless of what industry you are working in, putting new innovations and development in a broader perspective.

innovatours explores four different themes and each theme consists of three sessions in order to dig deeper into the subject. Below are all sessions.

Future Cities & Mobility

◆ The Smart Nation Strategy for Catalonia ◆ The Future of Urban Environments

Innovation for Social Progress

Food Innovation & Leisure

◆ Crafting Spirits by User Oriented Design ◆ 3D Printed Plant-Based Meat

Merging Passions to Create a New Business: Cannabis and Cuisine Collide
