In the knowledge economy, all business is becoming global, unbound by physical boundaries. This creates a competitive pressure for entrepreneurs and managers to adopt an intellectual property rights (IPR) focus in order to control the development of their innovations and to profit financially. This ongoing global development can be described as an evolutionary path that is leading us into an intellectualized economy where the core of business is focused on intellectual assets, property, and capital. The role of universities, firms, governments, and the capitalistic system will all need to adapt. Whether this development will be constructive or destructive depends on us. What we know for sure it that innovation in the knowledge economy will alter the fate of corporations and redefine the wealth of nations.

• Ilmar Pralla, Director of Innovation Division, Enterprise Estonia (Estonia)

2009 has been declared “Innovation Year” both in Estonia and all over Europe – a year for fresh perspectives, new solutions and bold ambitions. But 2009 is also a year of Global Financial Crisis and economic downturn. A year of lost jobs, vanished capital and bare survival. Now almost in last quarter of 2009 it’s time to have a first brief glimpse on Estonia in 2009 and start discussion whether we had an Innovation Year or Crisis Year.

What have we done to deserve this. Why we are not overly sad about the economic recession. Why is it difficult for Estonians to do business abroad.  What is common between export and losing weight

• Robin Gurney, Founder & Managing Director, Altex Marketing (Estonia)

In a no-nonsense, high speed, 80 frame slideshow Robin will explain why the hell you should not just “believe” in the power of social media but (hopefully) inspire and motivate you to rush back to the office to “engage online” and “get on with it”. It’s time that all companies learn what social media is and how to leverage its benefits and pay attention to its inherent dangers too. The presentation is given with the cooperation of Marta Z. Kagan (USA).

EstCube-1 (www.estcube.eu) is a space project which mission can be defined in quite different ways. From the technological point of view, together with our partners from Finland and Germany we take the first step towards the fastest space craft ever built. From the physical point of view, we test a novel propulsion technology based on the plasma interaction with a microscopic tether never tested in space before. Educationally it is a significant training of independent thinking. But the most important impact of the satellite project could be sending a set of positive messages to our youth motivating them to reach for the stars.

The presentation brings to the audience an insight to the educational, technological, financial, and political challenges EstCube-1 team faces and the strategies to deal with them. The latest model of the satellite will be demonstrated first time in public.
