Finding the Next Big Growth Driver -SA&I Nuremberg

Make your innovations work:
Supercharge your innovations for bigger and better launches
19 May 2026 | 10:00 – 14:00 | Nuremberg
By invite only
In today’s Tech & Durables landscape, good ideas are harder to find and even harder to scale. The contribution of innovation-led value sales has declined from 71% to 63% while consumer behaviour continues to evolve at lightning speed.
We explore how to sharpen, test and localise Tech & Durable innovations using an agile, AI‑powered Map–Test–Learn approach. Gain practical frameworks and real‑world guidance to turn product ideas into compelling propositions and derisk launches.
Fast-tracking innovation in a world of shrinking timelines
Join us for NIQs masterclass combining expert presentation and hands-on group workshop to find out how to make innovations relevant, compelling, and commercially successful. We will focus on:
- Sharpening, testing, and localizing HQ innovations
- Translating product features into clear, credible claims and narratives
- Fast map–test–learn approach to reduce risk and increase launch effectiveness
Wherever you are in your innovation journey, this session will help you optimize the outcome for a real-world success.

This workshop is ideal for Tech & Durables:
- Marketing & brand managers
- Innovation & R&D partners
