Every problem is an invitation to innovate.

A pest in a field may look like just another problem. But for the team behind BOSS BUGS, it became an opportunity to create a solution.

And that’s the power of innovation.

You don’t always need to look far for the next big idea. Sometimes, you simply need to look at the problems around you differently.

What problem do you encounter every day that you believe technology could solve?

Tell us in the comments. Your everyday frustration could be someone else’s next big innovation.

Innovation and the Knowledge Economy

Innovation and a knowledge-based economy are closely connected. Innovation drives economic growth through the creation and application of new ideas, technologies and processes.

In a knowledge-based economy, intellectual capital, research, education and skilled human resources become the primary sources of productivity and competitiveness, rather than relying mainly on natural resources.

As we continue the Innovation Dialogues, the conversation is about how we harness knowledge, skills and innovation to improve products, services and production methods, and ultimately drive economic growth.

The Knowledge Economy. The conversation continues.
