Innovate Globally, Act Locally
I’m at the Design Indaba conference in Cape Town, South Africa. What an incredible, creative, inventive group, all focused on thinking creatively about the future!
This really gets me thinking about prize-based innovation as a tool for focusing efforts toward solving not only global challenges, but also for addressing local needs as well. While InnoCentive’s network has already worked on challenges focused on developing areas of the world, the potential to really empower peoples locally is truly inspiring.
As the world gets smaller and smaller, our individual potential to impact others grows exponentially.
Imagine what we could do???!!!

I’m wondering about the same thing – eg how can prized-based innovation be a tool for addressing local and global challenges, specifically in areas related to human development. i’d like to kick around some ideas with you and get your insights into how to set this up, drawing on your innocentive experience etc. i’d love to chat – 617-324-5176. thanks!
