Rethinking Business in the Era of Complexity: Foresight, Leadership, Innovation
November 5 – 6, 2026 | Madrid, Spain & OnlineGBSB Global Business School, in collaboration with Sanjavani University and MESOS Business School, is pleased to announce the 2nd Global Business Conference on Business Transformation, Complexity, & Futures InnoVision 2026.
About
Building on the success of its inaugural edition, InnoVision 2026 marks the second chapter of a growing Indo-European academic initiative dedicated to advancing scholarly dialogue on the future of business in an increasingly complex and uncertain world. Hosted by GBSB Global Business School, this edition strengthens Europe’s role as a hub for critical reflection, strategic foresight, and innovation-driven leadership.
As global systems face unprecedented volatility, driven by technological disruption, geopolitical shifts, climate risks, and social transformation, traditional business models and leadership paradigms are being fundamentally challenged. InnoVision 2026 responds to this reality by creating a platform for scholars, policymakers, educators, and industry leaders to rethink business through the lenses of complexity theory, foresight capabilities, responsible leadership, and systemic innovation. Designed as a hybrid international conference, InnoVision 2026 aims to foster interdisciplinary research, cross-border collaboration, and actionable insights that support resilient organizations and sustainable futures.
