KES is an innovation content platform based on technology, behavior, and creativity. We approach these topics in a striking manner that leverages our own curatorship and adds interactive activities to foster the exchange of knowledge.
We investigate how new economies and disruptive technologies are impacting the future of business and transforming industries – and what those changes will entail. Our mission is to help leaders and organizations develop a global innovation mindset, in a continuous learning process.
Through our content, we don't want to simply provide answers to the challenges of a highly complex world, but help build tools to navigate such a world, even without having all the answers.

On the KES journeys, I get a preview of the questions I'll need to help formulate and then try to help answer.
Artur Grynbaum Grupo Boticário CEO
Without technology, without the ability to react quickly, you're out of the game. You have to be prepared, to be very open to what's happening. Talks like these presented by KES generate new insights and give us the ability to compete in this very challenging market we face today.
Andrea Salgueiro Whirlpool CEO
Many of the KES contents prompted us to reflect, and even rethink business models, both in our production chain and in the way we go to market. We believe the challenges that KES creates and incites are extremely important.
Carlo Andrea Bauducco New Business VP, Bauducco
The truth is that KES has never stopped. But the evolution of their digital events in this year of pandemic was exponential. As always, spectacular speakers and amazing self-development.
Charles Schweitzer Carrefour Bank Head of Innovation
I am a great fan of KES and the amazing work that you do to connect people and minds in Brazil and around the world.
Claudia Olsson Stellar Capacity Founder
Without a doubt, the disruptive content provided by KES has had a significant impact on my career. It was one of my main reasons in choosing the MBA program at Berlin School, and also in accepting the challenge of leading my team.
Leonardo Khede TikTok Agencies Head
In addition to the speakers' technical knowledge, KES content makes us think about topics that we must be aware of. These are very provocative themes that put us face to face with questions that go far beyond optimizing the business.
Marcia Baena Burger King Head of Management
I am leaving with new information, anxieties, concerns, and a lot of inspiration. Inspiration is what we get when we exchange knowledge. KES provides very rich reflections that help me along in the path to building the leadership of the future.
Marcio Parizotto Bradesco Marketing Director
I very much enjoy the KES talks; they give me an important overview of all these movements, of the speed technology has in the world today, and of how important it is for companies to stay up-to-date and use these tools to develop their businesses.

The meetings at KES always raise very interesting questions. It's always good to challenge yourself.
