Innovation in Consumer Products

The way we innovate consumer products is changing.

This is, in part, a response to changing consumer expectations around sustainability and the rise of the conscious consumer. Brands are also using innovation to differentiate and carve out a white space for new products.

Join Kushal Fernandes  and Kate Swanson for a discussion with Raj Mukherjee to explore three timely questions:

1. What does innovation for the conscious consumer look like?
2. How can product innovation help cement the next generation of digital brands?
3. Is ecosystem innovation necessary for long-term success?

Discussion will be followed by Q&A.
