ISPIM Membership


The International Society for Professional Innovation Management (ISPIM) is a worldwide network of academics, business leaders, consultants (A, B, C) and other professionals involved in Innovation Management. ISPIM's goals are to create a worldwide network of excellence in the field of innovation management, to enhance collaboration between its members and to be at the forefront of research on innovation. ISPIM achieves this via its international conferences and regional events, journal publications, collaborative research projects and other member services.

Our membership strategy emphasises quality rather than quantity - professional and scientific quality, as well as the quality of relationships between members. Our commitment to members includes:

  • ensuring a good balance and link between theory and practice in innovation management
  • providing a forum that encourages members from different cultures and backgrounds to network with one another
  • staging events in interesting locations that support scientific and networking needs and are excellent value-for-money

ISPIM's membership has traditionally come predominately from European countries. However, since 2003 membership has increased by around 30% each year and over 40 countries are now represented, including many non-European countries. ISPIM runs two international events per year, the ISPIM Conference in Europe every June and the ISPIM Innovation Symposium in a non-European country every December. This strategy ensures that membership numbers, especially from non-European countries, will continue to grow for the forseeable future.
