In the words of SAB: "Over the year, Gijs has engaged with SAB on multiple occasions, and each interaction has left a lasting impression on our teams and leaders." The keynote for the innovation champions "sparked valuable discussions around innovation, leadership, and creating value for the future."

The message

You can invent alone. But you can only innovate together.

That was the core message, in Gijs's own words after the session. With the 50 champions he explored ten reasons to innovate, how to win support for innovation, and how to transform ideas into impact.

The ten reasons as shown on the keynote visual. Source of the quote: Gijs van Wulfen on LinkedIn, June 2026.
