What is innovation? Innovation is an art that introduces and creates something new. It requires the active contribution of every major worker. For instance, educators write a new book or article that meets the needs of society. An entrepreneur launches a new product, a manager introduces a new method of managing organizations, and a doctor introduces a medicine for diseases. Indeed, the fundamental need of every innovation is culture. If we glance at many epochs of innovations, the culture asphalted the path for innovations and it accelerated innovations. One of the best examples is the golden age of ISLAM. In the past students had a habit of reading paper books, now advanced culture stimulates students to convert the habit of reading handbooks to soft books or reading on the screen of the computer the same as in various other strategies for in-depth reading. In brief, innovation is the secret of advanced societies and they are involved in the activities in their education system that generate and create innovation. Let’s think about innovation. Let’s perform research and prove everything based on research and rationale. 

🌍 Hecho Por Nosotros and animaná have been driving systemic change for 15 years, collaborating with institutions, universities, and academics to promote sustainable development. At the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development, we proudly hosted the side event "Crafting the Creative Economy: Digital Innovation, Culture, and Regenerative Value Chains to Advance the 2030 Agenda," co-hosted Stanford Angels & Entrepreneurs Lab 1 and Lab 2: “Tech for Good” (Main Panel Discussion Continuation) and “Bridging the Digital Divide: Ensuring Equal Access to Opportunities” were key parts of this event, driving discussions on technology’s role in creating equitable and sustainable futures. In the digital age, information and knowledge are readily accessible via the internet. However, the challenge lies in enabling artisan communities in the Andes to effectively reach and utilize this information. Embracing informality and leveraging AI are key to helping artisans access the right resources and scale their innovations.

🌟 Yesterday's HealthTech Integrates conference at Canary Wharf was incredibly insightful! 🌟 The sessions were so engaging, with Martin Carpenter's fireside chat on digital transformation challenges in the NHS being a standout for me. It was great to hear from someone on the ground in NHS innovation, as they can often be an elusive bunch! Here are my key takeaways: 1️⃣ Products must deliver 3 things, or else it is doomed to fail: value to patients, value to the workforce, and value for money. Missing one of these is not a good start. 2️⃣ Achieving an in-year return on NHS investment is crucial. 3️⃣ Innovation in the NHS requires patience – it's a slow, gradual process. What was clear throughout is that the NHS is often so separate to innovation. Entrepreneurs spend years and years knocking at its closed door, often having to go abroad to prove their value. This feels like such a missed opportunity! It is such a shame that the NHS is a barrier, when all this brilliant innovation is literally designed to solve its problems 🙄 But I hope a change is on the horizon! 🤞 🤝 Great to meet lots of new people too!

Which #Katapult24 startup is leveraging Nobel Peace Prize 🎖️ discovery to conquer a chunk of the $9BN market in the States 🇺🇸, starting from New York 🗽? Eridan founder, Jelena Milovanovic, holds two bachelor's, two master's, and a PhD in ecology and climate change. 🌍 In her own words, as a planet lover, she closely monitors scientific discoveries and trends in science, beauty, and climate. In 2018, she learned that two Japanese 🇯🇵 scientists won a Nobel Peace Prize for discovering telomeres. (Telomers are protective chromosome caps that help prevent aging by preserving genetic information during cell division.) Once last year's study proved that an ancient Chinese 🇨🇳 plant prevents telomers from shrinking, Eridan invented a serum that harvests stem cells from it. 🧬 The team built a patent-pending science innovation: an aqua farm in the Adriatic Sea, 7 meters below the ocean, to grow this Chinese plant enriched organically in a special hydroponic system. They launched their anti-aging serum in September '24 and entered the premium skincare market in the US. They expect to yield $400K in revenue from the serum in the first harvest alone. Stay with us as we uncover their ambitious business plan to reach $100M in revenue by 2027. --------------------------------------- Ministry of Science, Technological Development and Innovation Fond za inovacionu delatnost EU u Srbiji The World Bank

🌿 Can in vitro propagation revolutionize the beauty sector? 🌿 Plant Tissue Culture (PTC) is becoming more and more important for many sectors that use plants as the basis of their work. One of them is the beauty and cosmetics industry: The beauty industry is undergoing a major transformation. Forward-thinking brands are turning to PTC to develop sustainable, effective, and customizable active ingredients — and the results are game-changing! Here’s why: 🌱 Eco-Friendly: PTC grows plant cells in sterile environments, reducing soil, pesticides & water use. 🧪 Consistent Quality: Produces bioactive compounds like antioxidants & moisturizers with batch-to-batch purity. 🌍 Biodiversity Protection: No need for wild harvesting of plants like edelweiss or bakuchiol. 🤖 Optimized Production: Our RoBoCut system ensures minimal waste & premium biomass for ethical beauty. Take edelweiss for example. Known for its antioxidant properties, it often requires wild harvesting, threatening fragile alpine ecosystems. Through PTC, the same powerful compounds can be produced sustainably without harming biodiversity. Similarly, bakuchiol, a natural retinol alternative, can now be cultivated at scale, easing pressure on the Babchi plant while ensuring high-quality yields. At RoBoTec, we’re taking this innovation further with our RoBoCut technology — a cutting-edge system optimizing plant material selection and production. Our solution ensures batch-to-batch consistency, minimal waste, and high-quality biomass for ethical beauty formulations. The future of cosmetics is here: cleaner, greener, and more effective! 🌿🧴 Learn more:
