- 12. POSITIONING:sustainABILITYOslo Innovation Weekmust have an international focus, because the competition is global. It must also have a clear and interesting mission, and fill an empty position in an overcrowded event industry. The ambition is to position Oslo Innovation Week as the leading conference globally, showcasing real solutions to UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Oslo showcases action, where other conferences just talk. Oslo Innovation Week can do this because: • There is a shift in the economy towards creating a more sustainable business future. • Oslo has many of the solutions in the fields of health, maritime, education, smart city. • The organizer ‘dugnad’.

- 39. POWERCOUPLES Oslo lacks hierarchies,and there is a very short distance between people and power, between words and action, and people collaborate across titles and industries. The future lies in bridging differences, and Oslo can lead the way. Between established businesses and the newcomers. Between public and private, academia and business. Across borders, disciplines and titles. A powercouple consists of great minds of different disciplines, complementing each other in solving the world’s challenges. To communicate this, we developed a Powercouples generator. RESULTS FROM THE POWERCOUPLES GENERATOR (7.-30.9.2017) Visits: 3494 Unique visitors: 2954 Page views: 5043 Posters generated: 902 Geo information: Norway: 78.2% USA: 4.7% Brazil 2.6% UK: 1.9%
