KEY MILESTONES OF THE PROGRAM

– Other companies send participants to acquire new skills by working in teams (or tribes) on projects/challenges initiated by the partner companies.
HOW IS THE PROGRAM STRUCTURED
Alternating plenary sessions to find out the latest intel, knowledge, strategies and tools from the world of sustainable innovation, and collaborative workshops in small groups.

2. It’s not just online training…
The NOE Program usually takes place in Evian
But because of all the uncertainty due to COVID 2020, the decision was made to run it online.
We have drawn upon a set of initiatives that will allow participants to experience the event “physically”.
For example, a week before the seminar, they will receive a box with a set of documents
and objects that they can use to get a feel for the event ahead of time.
