A New Think Tank to Drive the Future of Luxury

On Wednesday, November 1, HEC Paris professor Anne Michaut will take part to the London Luxury Think Tank, co-hosted by The French Chamber of Great Britain and Walpole. A first of its kind, the think tank is designed for luxury leaders to explore the latest innovations that will drive the future of luxury.

It will assemble pioneers and disruptors from across the fields of luxury, fashion, technology, innovation and sustainability to share ideas, expertise and insights. This one day event will feature visionary talks by high profile speakers, four in-depth panels and inspirational personal stories from pioneers.

Anne Michaut will moderate the first panel discussion on Innovation & Sustainability, tackling the way the next generation of consumers think about sustainability, and how it is redefining the way businesses look to create long term value. Innovation strategies to drive growth and how they impact society as a whole will be discussed, from sourcing to supporting local communities to how they communicate their progress.
