Why is the Conference on Innovative Politics 2018 happening?
We see that the current state of politics and the way of policy making isn’t currently based on innovation, the needs of the citizens, or grass root initiatives. We see that the world of business and start ups has increased in innovation and the sector of politics and policy making risks being left behind. Dialogue and collaboration are missing in society. We need to involve the different stakeholders and adopt the wisdom of the new business paradigms. Slovak politics is unfortunately still ruled by old ways of thinking. New markets, products and services are emerging
at rapid pace almost every day and politics and regulations need to reflect these changes quickly in the Visegrad region.

The purpose of the Conference on Innovative Politics
The purpose is to organise one inspiring day in Prague where people who have contributed to policy changes in their respected countries exchange their ideas and improvements they have done in the area of public politics or citizens' initiatives enhancing the changes in the sector of
politics and policy making.
We want to bring people who have taken their stand for innovating the public sector and policy making and have demonstrated the new way in their respective countries. The criteria is to bring and work with the people who have driven large scale innovations for this sector.

Who is the Conference for?
The Conference is designed for societal leaders from public and business sectors who foster the innovations in their countries. The Conference is also for politicians and their assistants as the members of the political local regional and also National Assemblies. Additionally, we want to
include high level NGO and civic - sector leaders.
