What is innovation?<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Wikipedia:\u00a0\u201cInnovation is often also viewed as the application of better solutions that meet new requirements, unarticulated needs, or existing market needs. Such innovation takes place through the provision of more-effective products, processes, services, technologies, or business models that are made available to markets, governments and society.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

And we couldn\u2019t agree more! But one thing that must be mentioned when talking about innovation \u2014 is its future tense. People focus on innovating because they\u2019re concerned about the future and about making it a better place to live.<\/p>\n

Martin Wezowki, Chief Designer at SAP, presented us two editions ago his approach on innovation, more exactly about the natural steps he takes in this process:\u00a0mapping, building and inspiring a future everybody wants to live in<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If we look at the less technical side of innovation, we discover its abilities to open doors to new possible realities, thus people\u2019s imagination towards a better future plays an important role. Martin took a leap into the future and fragmented innovation into steps that need to be taken into consideration when you\u2019re starting this imagination exercise:<\/p>\n

  1. Exponential \u2014 the pace of change is faster and faster, going beyond human.<\/li>\n
  2. Convergent \u2014 technologies start converging in ways that we didn\u2019t think possible<\/li>\n
  3. Fantastic \u2014 science fiction is becoming science facts<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Ioana Cozmuta is part of NASA\u2019s think-tank \u2014 the innovative team as she likes to say and brought to Techsylvania another perspective on innovation, one from another world. Having her mindset oriented through space, but still with her feet on the ground, Ioana has a broad perspective when it comes to resources for innovation \u2014 what terrestrial economy is and what are the differences to resources needed for outer space.<\/p>\n

    How have the two worlds evolved, what trends are in Space technology and how does innovation really work in her field, you can find out from her talk, if you\u2019ve missed it \ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n
