Wishing you a fruitful World Creativity and Innovation Day World Creativity and Innovation Day is about fostering #creativity and #innovation. The United Nations General Assembly designated 21 April as World Creativity and Innovation Day to raise awareness of the role of creativity and innovation in all aspects of human cultural development and to promote creative thinking and cultural, scientific and technological innovation. If „culture is how we do things“, creativity and innovation are an essential component of sustainable development and a source of identity for individuals and communities. Creativity and culture have a significant non-monetary value that contributes to dialogue and understanding between peoples. But how do creativity and innovation work? I see creativity and innovation as diverging and converging. For me, being creative means being able to sort ideas and objects into new (yet to be found) categories, types or directions. Being creative requires a state of mind: 1. No defined outcome 2. No limits to trying 3. Failure is good Weekends are my creative days and I use them to paint. It's like an adventure for me. I never know what the result will be. Innovation is about solving problems with a clear focus on the user. The focus is important to achieve the given goal. Innovation is the process of putting things in order, arranging things in a particular order or category. Innovation is about 1. Achieving a given goal, 2. Following given criteria, and 3. Failure would require a return to creativity That's the normal procedure in any design process. According to the UNESCO report on culture and sustainable development, the creative industries are among the most dynamic sectors of the global economy in terms of income generation and job creation. I also believe that we need a lot of innovative products, services and ideas to achieve the goals of #sustainability and #Circularity. What do you do when you let your creativity run free? And what is your definition of "innovation"? #21April, #WCID; #WorldCreativityandInnovationDay; #InnovationDay #waterinnovation, #Circularity, #sustainability #sustainablefuture 

In celebration of World Creativity and Innovation Day, we recognize that creativity is the driving force behind innovation in every industry. Today encourages us to embrace new ideas and to think differently. As we continue to navigate a rapidly changing world, let’s apply our creativity to innovate for the betterment of our businesses, communities, and the global society. How are you fostering creativity and innovation in your professional space today? #CreativityAndInnovationDay #InnovativeThinking #BusinessCreativity #CenteringElements #LeadershipInInnovation #CreativeSolutions #StrategicInnovation #ProfessionalCreativity #IndustryInnovation #CreativeCollaboration

#socialInnovation is an importent step to improve our innovation system. See the publication of our colleagues of the Institut für Innovation und Technik (iit)

Today, we celebrate World Creativity and Innovation Day 🎊 A day designated by The United Nations to raise awareness of the role creativity and innovation play in economic, social, sustainable, and all other aspects of development. We believe creativity holds a huge potential in solving pressing issues. By letting creativity drive global agendas like sustainability and quality of life, it is possible to create solutions that do not only solve problems but also add value for both people and the planet. In other words, creativity can act as a catalyst in making necessary change desirable and sustainable solutions irresistible. Danish companies and organisations have a long tradition of using creativity to solve complex problems and responding to societal challenges. With a human-centred approach to innovation, Danish creatives listen and deliver something for the people who will use the product, space, or solution, placing usability at the centre of the solution being designed. The planetary boundaries are seen as a positive creative constraint that elevates the ambition for the final product, supporting the creation of solutions that have the potential to impact people’s lives and drive quality of life.

Creativity drives our ideas and emotions, as well as our ability to connect, to question and to be understood. At the same time, it provides livelihoods, careers, and economic opportunities for millions of people around the world, especially women, youth, and vulnerable groups. The creative economy has the power to drive sustainable development and solve some of the world’s biggest issues. Myant was founded with a spark of creativity. Tony Chahine was inspired by the challenges he faced while caring for his aging father who was thousands of miles away and suffering from dementia and heart disease. The Myant vision encompasses equity, accessibility, humanity, creativity, sustainability, and innovation, not just as concepts but as actions. In present day, we’re answering fundamental questions challenging society and ensuring technology is leaving no one behind. At Myant, we’re proud to be developing our own innovations and solutions that solve complex problems in human health and wellness to build a better future for humanity. On World Creativity and Innovation Day, let’s raise awareness of the role of creativity and innovation in all aspects of human development.

Today is World Creativity and Innovation Day! The United Nations designated April 21 as World Creativity and Innovation Day to raise the awareness of the role of creativity and innovation in all aspects of human development. The UN shares that, “There may be no universal understanding of creativity. The concept is open to interpretation from artistic expression to problem-solving in the context of economic, social and sustainable development.” Quite literally, creativity is an open concept that leads us to find joy, solve problems and connect with others.
