The Innovation Day is an event that is organized every 12 weeks. The main goal is to stimulate innovation and to show all the ongoing innovation initiatives on what is called as the innovation carrousel. An innovation carrousel is a market place where Innovation Teams, Innovators, Business Owners demonstrate their validated hypotheses, delivered value, Minimum Viable Products etc. Visitors walk around to watch the demos they prefer, to provide feedback and to interact with others.
