A day dedicated to innovation and cross-sector collaboration
Business Innovation Summit 2025 gathered leaders from business, government, and startups for a single day dedicated to innovation, impact, and cross-sector collaboration. Spread across multiple themed spaces — a Growth main stage, a Corporate Open Innovation floor, and a Product Management area — the event was designed to mix audiences that don't usually share a room.
Mixing sectors that rarely connect
The summit's strength — bringing corporates, government, and startups together — is also its hardest networking problem. These groups speak different languages and rarely have an easy way to find common ground in a single day. Without structure, the most valuable cross-sector introductions simply don't happen.
Deliberate matchmaking across themed spaces
Cardneto gave attendees an event app to discover participants across all three themed areas, filter by persona and industry, and connect instantly through QR codes. The meeting booking feature let people lock in time with the right counterpart, while the digital agenda tied the multi-space program together. Organizers tracked engagement live through the dashboard.
One of the highest meeting-booking rates yet
170 attendees joined through Cardneto, exchanging 70 digital contacts and booking 37 structured meetings — a standout engagement rate that turned a one-day, multi-track summit into dozens of concrete cross-sector conversations.
