Innovation Roundtable Shanghai 2026

Are you curious how top global companies are turning AI experiments into intelligent systems and using data to drive sustainability? On 1 - 2 April 2026, at the One Clariant Campus in Shanghai, the Innovation Roundtable Shanghai workshop will bring together senior innovation, digital, sustainability, AI and R&D leaders from multinational companies. This exclusive gathering is designed for peer‑to‑peer learning, not vendor pitches; consultants and startups are not admitted. With more than 150 corporate innovation executives in attendance, you will connect with peers facing similar challenges and opportunities.

Hosted by Clariant, a leading specialty‑chemicals company, the event will take place at the company’s Innovation Center in Shanghai’s XinZhuang Industrial Park. The state‑of‑the‑art campus is 20 minutes from Hongqiao Airport and around 35 minutes from downtown Shanghai, and features advanced laboratories that participants can tour during the workshop.

Why you should attend

Innovation Roundtable is not a typical conference: it is designed for candid, peer‑to‑peer exchange among senior corporate professionals. Each day combines executive presentations with immersive round‑table discussions, giving you the chance to share experiences and compare approaches. Informal networking breaks and the optional evening dinner provide additional opportunities to build connections.

Participation is free for eligible corporate innovation professionals, but seats are limited and subject to approval. As a member of the Benelux Chamber of Commerce, you have access to this unique opportunity to connect, learn and share with peers.
