Innovation is all about fueling the positive progress of communities and nations, says Kina Bank Chief Transformation Officer Ivan Vidovich.

Mr Vidovich said this when announcing Kina Bankโ€™s support for the 2025 Innovation PNG Conference that will be held in Port Moresby on March 27th and 28th 2025.

“We are committed to supporting initiatives that drive innovation in Papua New Guinea,” said Mr Vidovich.

“We believe that by fostering dialogue and collaboration, we can unlock new possibilities for our communities and businesses through innovation. The 2023 conference which we supported, was a great reminder of just how far PNG has come on the digital innovation
journey and the wonderful opportunities ahead,” he added.

Kina Bank supported the last conference in 2023 which was attended by the public and private sectors and with an impressive list of local and international speakers.

“The conference last year was a great reminder of just how far PNG has come on the digital innovation journey and the wonderful opportunities ahead, and we are proud again support Business Advantage International and the Port Moresby Chamber of Commerce and Industry, who are co-hosting the event,” Mr Vidovich said.

Mr. Andrew Wilkins, Publishing Director of Business Advantage International, added, “The Innovation PNG Conference is a vital platform for showcasing the advancements in our digital landscape. We are excited to bring together thought leaders who will inspire and
drive the conversation forward.”

The two-day conference will showcase local and international speakers and presentations, panel discussions, a hackathon, an exhibition, and an innovation awards night where awards will be presented to the best innovators.
