Microsoft as a company, our research labs and associated development centres believe in investing in innovation and sharing knowledge. At this year's Innovation Day in Brussels, government leaders, academic and industry stakeholders, and the media will be given a sneak preview of the technologies of tomorrow. Researchers will demonstrate leading innovations that are being developed in partnership with European businesses and academia, spanning the areas of manufacturing, finance, retail, digital lifestyle, multimedia and entertainment.

Innovation Day is also an occasion for our research lab to showcase their role in cultivating research talent across Europe. The researchers of today and tomorrow will join us on Innovation Day to explain their collaborations with Microsoft Research and demonstrate their innovative technologies and results.

Come to Innovation Day 2006 to experience the power of innovation, see the technology of the future, and understand how innovation is accelerating growth in Europe.
