=====Disrupting business models is not enough. We need tech innovation too=====
[https://www.weforum.org/stories/2018/03/sharing-economy-product-innovation-balance-disruption/ by Ville Satopaa 15/3/18 WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM]
We hear the word “innovation” all the time. It has become such a buzzword that we forget what it means. For some people, innovation means building the next Facebook. For others, it’s a new way to cook an omelette. For the purposes of this article, let’s break innovation down into two general categories:
=====Companies need innovation more than ever. Here's how to measure it=====
[https://www.weforum.org/stories/2021/07/innovation-is-more-important-than-ever-heres-how-to-measure-it/ by Dan Toma 12/7/21 WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM]
In a recent survey of more than 200 organizations, 90% of executives said they expected the pandemic to fundamentally change the way they do business over the coming five years.
=====How AI-powered innovation can democratize breakthrough science=====
[https://www.weforum.org/stories/2025/06/ai-innovation-democratizes-breakthrough-science/ by Jasmin Hume 25/6/25 WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM]
It’s been four years since Google’s DeepMind effectively solved the biggest problem known to biology with AlphaFold, a prediction model for protein folding. For those of us surfing the edge of artificial intelligence (AI) and proteins, these years since have felt like the floodgates burst open. I now can't open my email without a rush of new approaches, discoveries and companies built on AlphaFold's open-source code.
=====Groundbreaking empirical research shows where innovation really comes from=====
[https://www.vox.com/2017/12/4/16706352/innovation-inequality-race-gender by Matthew Yglesias 5/12/17 Vox]

=====Innovation is an over-rated distraction=====
[https://www.weforum.org/stories/2017/01/innovation-is-an-over-rated-distraction/ by Daniel Mahler 15/1/17 WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM]
Yearning to innovate like far smaller companies is a rational response to what is happening in the marketplace. Across many consumer categories— be it beauty or beverages or food —the great growth stories increasingly seem to belong to small, nimble players. Size, once an unquestioned strength, now feels like a liability. Access to prestigious retail channels, for example, has traditionally been a prime source of competitive advantage for the biggest players in consumer.
=====How to innovate and avoid problem-solving traps: Philips' innovation chief Shez Partovi=====
[https://www.weforum.org/stories/2022/07/shez-partovi-royal-philips-innovation-effective-solutions/ by Linda Lacina 26/7/22 WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM]
Shez Partovi understands this well. Today he’s the Chief Innovation and Strategy Officer for Royal Philips, a health technology company. But for 10 years, he was a practicing physician. Those early years taught him the importance of investing more in a problem than in a solution. This approach helps sidestep new bells and whistles that may seem exciting, but don't lead to progress or tackle a lasting problem. “It’s critical to focus more on the problem than the tool you’ll build to solve it.”
=====End the Innovation Obsession=====
[https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/07/opinion/sunday/end-the-innovation-obsession.html by David Sax 7/12/18 The New York Times]
TORONTO — A year ago I stepped into the Samcheong Park Library in Seoul, South Korea, and saw the future. The simple building in a forested park had a nice selection of books, a cafe at its center and a small patio.
=====3D Scans Help Preserve History, But Who Should Own Them?=====
[https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/195149875/innovation by npr]
Historic sites around the world face mounting threats: war, climate change, natural disaster. There's a rush to use 3D scans for preservation. But experts have questions about how the scans are used.
=====These are the world's most innovative economies=====

=====How to regulate AI without stifling innovation=====
[https://www.weforum.org/stories/2023/06/how-to-regulate-ai-without-stifling-innovation/ by David Timis 26/6/23 WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM]
Artificial intelligence (AI) has captured the public imagination. In the past few months, the release of OpenAI’s GPT-4 has shown the rapid advancement and progress made on large language models (LLMs), sparking increased interest in the development of AI and what it can do. It has also increased fears about the powerful nature of the technology at play.
=====Innovation in sustainability: How technology advances corporate sustainability=====
[https://www.weforum.org/stories/2024/09/innovation-sustainability-technology-advances-corporate-sustainability/ by Daniel Schmid 24/9/24 WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM]

=====Europe must prioritize research and innovation to be competitive=====
[https://www.weforum.org/stories/2025/01/europe-prioritize-research-innovation-competitive/ by Maria Leptin 17/1/25 WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM]
The European economy requires urgent action to tackle the increasing gap with the US and China in terms of economic growth. For the first time since the Cold War, Europe “must genuinely fear for our self-preservation”, according to former European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi.
=====This is the major impact globalization has had on productivity=====
[https://www.weforum.org/stories/2018/04/globalization-helps-spread-knowledge-and-technology-across-borders/ by Aqib Aslam 11/4/18 WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM]
Our research in Chapter 4 of the April 2018 World Economic Outlook takes a closer look at how technology travels between countries. We find that the spread of knowledge and technology across borders has intensified because of globalization. In emerging markets, the transfer of technology has helped to boost innovation and productivity even in the recent period of weak global productivity growth.
=====Hail the maintainers=====
[https://aeon.co/essays/innovation-is-overvalued-maintenance-often-matters-more by Andrew Russell aeon]
Innovation is a dominant ideology of our era, embraced in America by Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and the Washington DC political elite. As the pursuit of innovation has inspired technologists and capitalists, it has also provoked critics who suspect that the peddlers of innovation radically overvalue innovation. What happens after innovation, they argue, is more important. Maintenance and repair, the building of infrastructures, the mundane labour that goes into sustaining functioning and efficient infrastructures, simply has more impact on people’s daily lives than the vast majority of technological innovations.

[https://www.reuters.com/plus/how-technology-and-innovation-are-transforming-financial-services by  Alex Lintner 17/7/23 Reuters]
Innovation is defined as a new idea, or ideas, method or device which can generate value.

=====Innovation Hub=====
[https://www.npr.org/podcasts/512646501/innovation-hub by npr]
The 1964 Supreme Court Case Jacobellis v. Ohio presented a highly subjective question to the justices: what is obscenity or pornography? How do you define it? Where do you draw the line? In response, Justice Potter Stewart gave us the iconic line, "I know it when I see it." His ambiguous answer works fine for humans who can make judgement calls on the fly, but the algorithms that rule our lives need rules that are much more concrete.
====='Innovation Districts' May Be Cornerstones Of New Urban Economy=====

At least eight out of every 10 new consumer products that enter the market will fail, according to one estimate. That can be frustrating. But for some inventors, the challenge posed by failure can be a driving force.
=====The Rise of the Rural Creative Class=====
[https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-01/what-makes-a-rural-creative-hub-innovation-and-the-arts by Richard Florida 1/5/18 Bloomberg]
One of the most persistent myths in America today is that urban areas are innovative and rural areas are not. While it is overwhelmingly clear that innovation and creativity tend to cluster in a small number of cities and metropolitan areas, it’s a big mistake to think that they somehow skip over rural America.
=====3 Clues To How Geography Fuels Innovation=====

=====A massive new study holds some startling insights for the age of remote work=====
[https://africa.businessinsider.com/careers/a-massive-new-study-holds-some-startling-insights-for-the-age-of-remote-work/kwlrhff by BUSINESS INSIDER AFRICA]
But productivity is only one measure of labor — and a limited one, at that. The quantity of work people complete on a day-to-day basis is a very different thing from the quality of that work. Output per hour tells us nothing, for instance, about innovation — whether teams are coming up with new ideas that have the potential to turn into game-changing products and services down the road. Productivity is important for running a business in the short term. Innovation determines a company's ability to survive, and thrive, in a changing economy over time.
