BIN@BRAZIL offered a platform for a global exchange of the latest innovation models, experiences, and the future possibilities for using innovation as an enabler of sustainable development, value creation, and cross structural cooperation. It was encouraging to see that we have all moved beyond strictly technical innovation towards service innovation, innovation in business modelling, organizational innovation and even social innovation. The combination of Latin American (Brazilian, Chilean, and Argentinean) collective consciousness in relation to European (especially Portuguese, British and Swedish, and Slovenian), has opened up new possibilities for even more profound understanding of the conditions, space, tools and opportunities related to innovation, innovation ecosystems and mass participation.

The event was well organized, yet we have also learnt on the spot that there might be additional opportunities for improvement in the future:

• More options (especially for guest speakers) for a direct dialog and exchange of experiences, and the future directions in innovation with local representatives (addressing real problems and opportunities);
• More innovation present at the conference (more participation from participants, more innovative business games, innovative communication channels); Better communication support of the conference (innovation communication principles); to use the summit also as a means of disseminating innovation concepts to the broader public, and among local students; “New cooperation” points, where we can all come together in common and try to define new areas for the cross-continental co-operation.
