PwC is pleased to invite you to our upcoming 5th Texas Innovation Leaders Forum: Innovation Dollars on the Move on Thursday, May 26 at the Nasher Sculpture Center from 2:00pm - 4:30pm. We encourage you to bring a friend or colleague in the industry to join us. This year, Strategy&, PwC's strategy consulting business, examined the R&D footprint of some of the world's top companies to understand how much they are spending on R&D, where and how that spend has shifted since our last study on this topic in 2008. We found that the globalization of R&D has become the norm and that the flow of R&D funds is shifting away from Europe and aggressively moving towards Asia. The Global Innovation 1000 studies of the past have long confirmed it’s not how much you spend, but how you spend it, and now it is also where you spend it that determines your success. We are pleased to be welcoming back Volker Staack, one of our Innovation Leaders from Strategy&, and co-author of the Innovation 1000 Study. We are excited to announce that Eric van Gemeren, VP of R&D at Flowserve, will be joining our speaker lineup. Eric has been developing and leading high-performance teams in high-tech organizations for more than 25 years. In his role, Eric is responsible for the worldwide development of new products and has overall accountability for managing Flowserve’s global portfolio of investments in emerging technologies that are applied across the entire product range.
