The Innovation Leadership Forum (ILF) is a visionary and original Think (and Do) Tank dedicated to helping organisations understand and improve their innovation performance. It does so through a number of different
avenues:
ILF Networking Group
The membership-based networking initiative, sometimes referred to as ‘Innovators
Anonymous’ enables its members to,
• Share existing and create new knowledge around innovation;
• Engage deeply with and between member companies;
• Benchmark within and across member companies;
• Keep up to date with latest development in innovation.
ISPIM - International Society for Professional Innovation Management - is a network of researchers, industrialists, consultants and public bodies who share an interest in innovation management. Founded in 1983 by Professor Knut Holt in Norway, ISPIM is the oldest, largest and most active innovation association in Europe, rapidly expanding in the Americas and Asia.

BURGER KING
Innovation & Commercialisation Manager EMEA
A very well organised conference with a great selection of varied delegates and speakers. I found it an excellent opportunity to network with new people who I wouldn’t have had the chance to meet in another forum.
CRISTAL GLOBAL
General Manager for R&D and Technical Sales Services
The conference is well organised, right duration, right number of attendees. It is coherent, topic focused and allows people from different industries to share common concerns and solutions.
LONZA
Senior Vice President, Head of Chemical Research & Developme
Rich and vibrant conference, with an excellent mix of speakers from SME, mid-sized, and large companies.
UNILEVER
Director, New Businesses Unit, Global Technology and R&D Str
A useful event sharing approaches to leveraging partnerships to create new business opportunities – A varied array of business with opportunities to network-share approaches on cross industry.
AVENTIS
Vice President, Head of Disease Groups
I have enjoyed the meeting and was in fact very positively surprised. It was very good to get this cross-industry feedback and I took back quite a few refreshing ideas which are worthwhile to follow up. This was definitely no waste of time and I will look forward to E.N.G.’s next meeting.
ASTRAZENECA
Diversity Director Research & Development
The presentations were of very high quality and the atmosphere was one of inclusion rather than competition. The openness with which information was exchanged was unusual and this was critical to the effectiveness of the conference. The audience had as much to contribute as the presenters and it was a refreshing change that they were not only 'talked at' but 'listened to'.
HEINEKEN
Group Innovation Manager
Plenty of time built into the programme to allow delegates to discuss ideas & approaches and develop contacts.
