Leading for Innovation | École des Ponts Business School

PAW marks the convergence of digital transformation and responsible transition with exponential business models. It empowers organizations to scale through data, feedback loops, networks, platforms, and emerging technologies. More than a trend, PAW is a megatrend reshaping business and society.

This hybrid workshop equips participants to navigate and lead in this evolving landscape of digitally enabled, responsibly driven markets. The experience blends learning sessions, company visits, and engagement at the VivaTech conference in Paris with group discussions and interactive activities.

PAW is more than a trend—it's a megatrend reshaping business and society. As traditional models struggle to adapt to rapid digital acceleration and socio-environmental challenges, a new class of innovators is emerging. These leaders integrate technology, responsibility, and ecosystem thinking to design adaptive, inclusive, intelligent, and regenerative business models.

The Exponential Innovation 5.0 PAW Executive Workshop equips innovators, investors, and leaders with the insights, foresight, and frameworks needed to navigate and lead in this evolving landscape. Set against the backdrop of VivaTech Paris—Europe’s premier innovation event—this immersive experience blends theory and action, offering exposure to cutting-edge real-world use cases, interactive sessions, and invaluable networking opportunities.

Participants will acquire actionable insights and practical strategies to implement the Exponential Innovation 5.0 framework within their organizations and innovation projects. Specifically, they will be able to:

Comprehend Industry 5.0 Dynamics: Understand the evolving landscape of Industry 5.0, characterized by the integration of digital transformation and responsible innovation, and its impact on markets and societies.
