Innovation Discovery. Global Innovation Outlook (GIO) Over five years ago, IBM launched a unique experiment in exploration, collaboration and innovation: the Global Innovation Outlook (GIO).
During its evolution, we've convened hundreds of thought leaders, policymakers, business executives, university researchers and representatives from non-profit organizations. We've explored topics as varied and important as healthcare, energy and the environment, economic development in Africa, and the future of the world's water resources. We've shared the results of our exploration and analysis through reports and studies, brokered new relationships, and launched dozens of collaborative initiatives among GIO participants. Today the GIO's approach pervades just about all IBM interactions. IBM Jam Events. United States.
