About innovation Cafe

What is innovationCAFE?

Innovation is crucial to the success of every business. With continuous changes to government policies, legislation and an ever-changing economy, it is vital now more than ever that American businesses have a clear, strategic plan and a fresh approach to staying ahead of the curve.

If the United States is to remain a robust, innovation-driven economy, three interconnected pillars must work in harmony:

Productivity
Commercialisation
Innovation Culture

innovationCAFE 2026 is a two-and-a-half-hour action-focused event (held in Austin and Dallas, Texas) designed to explore the significance of these pillars and their role in a thriving America.

During this event, you will:

  • gain insights from practical industry leaders about the immediate challenges facing America
  • take part in an interactive conversation with those leaders
  • collaborate on solutions over a meal and quality coffee
  • network with like-minded professionals
  • contribute to something that will help form an actionable paper submitted to Government

The innovationCAFE Model

As the name suggests, innovationCAFE is based on the CAFE principle of innovation

Collaborate
Business innovation thrives in connection. By gathering diverse perspectives  across roles, industries and experience companies can bridge gaps, spark ideas and build solutions no one could reach alone.

Ask
Insight doesn’t arrive uninvited. Asking powerful questions not only uncovers opportunities but also transforms challenges into a competitive edge.

Flow
Timing matters in innovation. There’s a sweet spot between moving first and overwhelming the market. With intuition and insight, timing becomes a strategic advantage, not an afterthought.

Evolve
Innovation is not a single act it’s a state of being. Evolution means you don’t rest on yesterday’s brilliance, but constantly iterate towards what tomorrow needs. Successful companies look 10 years ahead, then build towards it today.
