Innovate through Science – living our philosophy! One week, five ideas, one challenge - and it's all about innovation. This week, we are challenging our "Innovate through Science" mindset! Starting with a keynote by Mark Achler on the importance of empathy in the #innovation process, we jumped into our Innovation Challenge Workshop this week moderated by Aaron J. Horowitz and Joel Schwartz from Empath Labs labs. Our goal: bring an #idea based on a #technology concept towards an innovation #pitch.   With 17 #researchers and #engineers participating, we are looking forward to how far they can get their idea in 4 days. Stay tuned!

We're over the moon to hear about Bill Nye, "The Science Guy," as the featured speaker for this year's FlagshipKansas.Tech Ad Astra Technology Summit during Wichita Startup Week! 🌟 "This summit is important," Nye said in a statement. "After all, technologies derive from science. Tech hubs concentrate engineers and scientists to identify big problems and build business to find solutions to them."

🌟 Breaking Barriers: Engineering My Way to Limitless Innovation! 🌟 As an engineering student, I’ve always believed that innovation knows no boundaries—and I’m proving it! 🚀 I’m currently working on two groundbreaking tech inventions that will simplify lives and revolutionize industries. These solutions are designed to create a profound impact in finance, industry, and every sector that touches our lives. 💡 My journey has been all about pushing the limits, challenging the norm, and reimagining what’s possible with technology. These inventions are just the beginning of a vision to solve real-world problems and bring transformative change. This is not just about tech; it’s about creating a legacy of ideas that make life better for everyone. Let’s build the future together! Your support and feedback are invaluable—because innovation thrives in a community of dreamers and doers. 🌍✨ #EngineeringInnovation #TechForGood #BreakingLimits #Invention #FutureIsNow #MakingLifeEasier

This is #Alberta's Startup and Innovation event of the year! I can’t wait to deep dive into the latest trends, disruptive tech, and AI momentum.  Looking forward to meshing big ideas 💡with #corporatesocialresponsibility all with a lens towards adopting different world views. #Inventures2024

Isaac Newton famously said, “If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” In innovation, we are always standing on the shoulders of giants.  Only by leveraging others’ knowledge and discoveries can we continue to push the boundaries of what is possible.  At PCDworks, we don’t pretend to know everything.  But even when we don’t know something, we know we can find someone who does.  One of our greatest strengths is our ability to find and recruit the help of experts.  Consulting experts can save you a lot of time, money, and headaches in the innovation process.  Read our latest blog for a breakdown of why experts are so helpful, when to ask for their help, and how to approach them the right way. https://lnkd.in/g76RSAXP Photo by Vincent Delsuc from Pexels #innovation #innovators #industrialdesign #productdesign #productdevelopment #newproductdevelopment #research

From classrooms where ideas are born to start-up ecosystems where dreams take flight, let's foster a culture where curiosity thrives, where every mind is empowered to explore, experiment, and envision a future fuelled by technology. It's a day to recognize the pivotal role of technology in shaping our world, empowering the curious minds of tomorrow to not just adapt but to boldly innovate and engineer solutions to the challenges of today and tomorrow.

"The best way to predict the future is to invent it." – Alan Kay 🌍 We often talk about the "future of tech" as if it's something out of our hands, something we're just waiting to witness. Alan Kay's words remind us that the future isn't some distant reality we wait for; it's a place where we can create ourselves with every decision, every line of code, and every risk we choose to take. Think of the forefathers who shaped the current world of tech. They didn't wait to see what would happen next. Instead, they were more about questioning what was possible, reenvisioning what could be, and most importantly - bringing their ideas into reality. The future came not because they predicted it, but because they dared to create it. 🚀 Whether you're creating a game-changing product, developing the next revolutionary idea within your company, or just getting started, know that the potential to shape tomorrow rests in your hands. Never be worried about asking, "What if?" or "Why not?" because those are the questions that fuel progress. When we approach our work with this mind frame, we're not just contributors to our industry; we're active architects of its future. Let's not wait for the future; let's create it ourselves in tech and life. 💡 #InnovationMindset #InventTheFuture #AlanKayWisdom #TechLeaders #CreateTomorrow

Come listen to Dr Gavrilova talk about AI and deep fakes!

I think of myself as an innovator. Yet, I never thought of one of the most important qualities of an innovator. CERN and a red London double decker bus put things in perspective. It happened during a visit to #IdeaSquare, the innovation space at #CERN, where a group us went to learn new tools and approaches to include innovation in our daily work (https://lnkd.in/eQW3-xKZ). And during the free-flowing discussions something that Dr. Pablo Garcia Tello said struck me. An innovator is someone who is persistent and stubborn. Now, that is certainly not an image I conjure up when thinking of an innovator. Talented, crazy, creative, gifted, original, passionate, eccentric, are some of the adjectives that usually come to mind. But, the more that I thought it, I realized one of the most important qualities of an innovator is indeed persistence and the ability to continue on despite setbacks and pushbacks. The English dictionary says an innovator is someone who introduces new products, methods, or ideas. Creative and smart people can think up of new ideas and products, but to truly become an innovator one needs to get people to adopt these. And that is only possible by being really persistent and stubborn, persevering in the face of the many failures that come, or as the psychologist Angela Duckworth calls it, having “grit,” a mixture of both passion and perseverance. If you are wondering how the double decker bus comes into the picture, Pablo and a few others drove it from London, which was no easy task given all the special permissions required including a complete list of the bridges and tunnels they would have to drive through. The bus now stands proudly at IdeaSquare, a testimony to persistence, calling on innovators to think big and continue creating and pushing through new ideas.  #innovation #GetStarted Image credit: created used a Generative AI-based image generator

//STRATEGY WITHOUT VISION IS JUST AN ILLUSION You won't believe how often we are invited to work on a new innovation project without a clear vision. Very often, it is all about new technology. _We want to build an AI-based innovation _We want to build a data-driven business model _We want to build XYZ technology The first question we ask: What customer problem do you solve? Very often, this is not even clear. When developing a strong vision, it's important to focus on how your product can improve the lives of your customers, rather than just how cool it is. P.S. Yep, we had to learn this the hard way, too 🤦🏼 ——— This is how we bring your ideas to market in one week only:  https://lnkd.in/eq4TvNC4 #innovation #creativity #future #whatinspiresme #innoweek #venturestudio #companybuilder #vc All rights and credits are reserved to the respective owner(s).  Contact me to add you as a reference or content removal. ♻️ Repost to help your network to bring their ideas to market.
