I had the pleasure of participating in the Saastamoinen Foundation Keynote 2024: A Nordic Form of Capitalism - The Novo Nordisk Story. Lars Rebien Sørensen, Chair of the Board of Directors of the Novo Nordisk Foundation, led a powerful session with insights into the future of innovation and long-term business strategy: 🔑 "Innovation is the commercialization of new knowledge" – it's not just about new ideas but turning them into tangible business success. 🌱 A call for increased investment in agriculture – a vital sector for the future. 💼 "Business is business" – but the focus remains on long-term strategies that will stand the test of time. 🚀 We must stay relevant – staying ahead of trends and being innovative is crucial. 🏛️ Capitalism should have a long-term societal impact – a sustainable approach is key. 🔄 Diversification is important – but we must be cautious of becoming too average in the process.

Starting tomorrow, Jennifer Haggard, Rob Hart, and Nate Eckert will be representing Shepherd at the Innovation Summit in Ontario! 🌍✨ Rob will be part of a dynamic panel discussion on sustainable chemistry scale-up. Here’s a sneak peek of Rob’s insights: "If discovery is the process of making a technology work, then development is the process of making it fail. The best scaled-up processes are not about finding one way to manufacture a product but identifying a range of conditions that lead to success while avoiding risks to safety, quality, or cost. Our partnerships are all about pushing these boundaries together." Join us at the summit to learn more about pushing innovation to the next level.

In a world striving for sustainable development, innovation plays a pivotal role. Today, on 9th April, I’m pleased to announce the launch of a new World Intellectual Property Organization – WIPO report “Mapping Innovations: Patents and the Sustainable Development Goals”. This comprehensive report provides data-driven insights into the intersection of patents and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). From eradicating poverty to ensuring clean water and sanitation, this report sheds light on how patents are driving progress towards a more prosperous, equitable and sustainable world. The report was launched at a WIPO webinar earlier today in anticipation of World IP Day on 26th April 2024, which is themed the “IP and the SDGs: Building our common future with innovation and creativity”. Some key takeaways of the report include: · The identification of 100 distinct technology categories linked to the SDGs covering areas such agriculture, medical devices, renewable energy and transportation.   · Almost one in three active patent families worldwide (31.4%) are related to the SDGs.   · Some SDGs, like for instance SDG 9 Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure and SDG 13 Climate Action, exhibit substantial patent alignment, showcasing significant innovation activity. The report highlights growth trends in these areas. · SDG 9 has the highest number of patents, indicating diverse technology landscapes within this field, SDG 13 Climate Action and SDG 7 Affordable and Clean Energy, reflecting an increasing focus on cleaner alternatives to fossil fuels. Explore the report, dive into the data with our interactive visualizations, and be part of a discussion on how intellectual property serves as a catalyst for innovation and collaboration here: https://lnkd.in/gevsVSYG #WIPO #SDGs #PatentAnalytics #Innovation #Sustainability #MappingInnovations #WorldIPDay #LexisNexisIP Chris Harrison Lakshmi Supriya Hong Kan Andrew Czajkowski Alejandro Roca Campana LexisNexis Intellectual Property Solutions
