Written By CScout Germany on Friday, August 29, 2008 at 7:28 PM | In CScout News, Events

Mission Future again brings together creative masterminds, innovators and business leaders to envision and drive the future of the knowledge-sharing economy. The event takes place on September 8 in Linz, Austria, amidst Europe’s foremost celebration of media and digital art innovation, the Ars Electronica festival.

300 guests and speakers from around the world will attend this invitation-only, one day event to discuss the sustainability of the new open-economy mentality, explore real possibilities for the future, and exchange ideas as influenced by their diverse disciplines. Mission Future commits itself to the principles of Open Source, where attendees are active participants. Creative methods such as FutureSlam and FutureHunting guarantee spirited exchange and a genuine experience of the sharing economy.

Focus 2008:  We’re open - How open minds and open industries are shaping the world.

Until now, creating and protecting intellectual property was considered the essential competitive factor. Today, however, opening up innovation processes and creating flexible company structures are becoming increasingly important. Trends like Open Source, Open Innovation and Open Brands, through which the potential of today’s information economy can be fulfilled, are becoming the basis for processual innovations and new products.

Our invited experts include:

Joichi Ito, Founder of Neotony and President of Creative Commons.
Lars Hinrichs, Founder of the German Business Social Network Xing.
Isaac Mao, Founder, CNBlog.org, Partner & VP, United Capital Investment Group.
Gerfried Stocker, President Ars Electronica.
