Innovation is Broken – and AI Won’t Fix It
Date: 1 July 2025
Time: 1:00 – 1:15 PM
Stage: Leadership
Speakers:
Hugo Amos, Co-Founder & CEO, Black Swan Data
Jason Thomson, SVP, Innovations & Futures Team, Mintel
Eight out of ten CPG product launches fail—not because the ideas are wrong, but because they’re based on the wrong consumer signals. When the data is flawed, AI only makes things worse. This session explores why innovation keeps missing the mark, and how better data inputs can make the process faster, sharper, and more predictable.
