ITRI Honored as a Clarivate Top 100 Global Innovator for the Eighth Consecutive Time In a remarkable testament to its relentless innovation and pioneering spirit, the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) of Taiwan has once again been recognized as a Clarivate Top 100 Global Innovator. This prestigious accolade marks the eighth time ITRI has secured a spot on the list, standing out among an impressive pool of 1.1 million innovators worldwide. This year, Taiwan has emerged as a formidable player in the innovation landscape, with a total of 11 entities, including ITRI, being named in the Clarivate Top 100 Global Innovators list. This representation is indicative of the island's growing influence and commitment to fostering a robust ecosystem for scientific and technological advancement. Japan leads the tally with 38 entities on the list, reflecting the country's longstanding tradition of innovation and its pivotal role in shaping the global technological agenda. The United States follows with 17 entities. Korea and China are also significant contributors, with 8 and 5 entities respectively, further highlighting the Asia-Pacific region's central role in driving global innovation. ITRI's repeated recognition by Clarivate is not just a badge of honor for the institute but also a beacon of inspiration for Taiwan and beyond. It accentuates the critical importance of research and development in government and academic sectors, proving that with the right vision, commitment, and support, they can stand shoulder to shoulder with the world's largest corporations in the innovation arena. https://lnkd.in/dXzsDD_P

Exciting Release! WIPO's new report, "Making Innovation Policy Work for Development," unlocks the power of complexity for sustainable development. The report underscores the importance of 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀. By analyzing scientific, technological, and production aspects, the report reveals how these capabilities significantly impact a nation's innovation and industrial policies. Notably, the report highlights that 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, while the most complex, delivers the highest economic rewards. Recognizing this complexity allows countries to tailor development strategies to their unique innovation ecosystems. Countries can build upon existing strengths or leapfrog into new fields to foster a resilient and competitive innovation ecosystem. However, strategic timing and a deep understanding of the 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁 are paramount for maximizing these opportunities. Grateful for this comprehensive work and the potential it holds to unlock a new era of sustainable development through innovation. https://lnkd.in/dvHRCKsz #IntellectualProperty #WIPO #WIPR #SustainableDevelopment

USA has been a country that adopts innovation with delay for few decades now. This video speaks about trucks, but other industries are in delay as well. An innovation giant is not evenly innovating across all industries and products because it focuses on few industries only while others are blocked by huge companies that don't want product innovation. This makes me wonder if end-user open innovation can actually work in the world's biggest market... #openinnovation #innovation

Jesper Puggaard de Oliveira Hansen, a recent postdoctoral addition to the Villum Fonden Spin-outs Denmark program, is pioneering research in the digital development and testing of modular production machines. This approach promises to enhance the flexibility and robustness of company production processes. Modular machines allow for more accessible updates and maintenance, potentially reducing downtime and associated costs. The concept also extends to the creation of virtual machine versions, facilitating faster diagnostics and solutions when issues arise. This advancement represents a significant step forward in production technology, although it requires substantial initial investment. Jesper's work has significant implications for the industry, with a market potential for production machinery in Denmark worth DKK 25 billion and a market potential for machine accessories worth DKK 60 billion. Adopting these innovations could lead to substantial increases in productivity and output, as highlighted by research and findings from the World Economic Forum. #Innovation #Industry4_0 #ModularMachines #DigitalTwin #FutureOfProduction #sdutech

No innovation is perfect to address all needs; rather it addresses part of the total needs. So, when we think about innovation, we must know it is a continuous process of creation and recreation towards reaching a state of perfection in solving societal problems. Therefore, whatever we create or recreate addresses part of the whole societal problem which shows the limited scope of innovation itself in addressing societal problems. In our effort of addressing societal problems through innovative ways, we must allow permeability of innovative processes as new innovations trigger new problems which forces us to a continuous creation and recreation.

Policymakers and economic developers may want to pause there to consider possible implications of the findings: a merely large regional presence of employment within a particular technology area may meet the standard definition of a cluster, but if there isn’t R&D and innovation occurring in those local plants, the cluster’s future competitiveness is less secure because it is being driven by innovation occurring elsewhere. The companies also need to be networked externally to other technology hubs or clusters. Note: building more robust and sustainable regional innovation will be the goal of many sessions at SSTI’s annual conference Dec. 10-12 in Metro Phoenix. Details are available here.

World Intellectual Property Report 2024: Making Innovation Policy Work for Growth and Development Publication Date: May 2, 2024 Reading Time: Approximately 7 minutes Summary: This report by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) explores the link between innovation, economic diversification, and industrial policy. It argues that focusing on developing local innovation capabilities is crucial for sustainable growth. The report outlines a new methodology for mapping innovation capabilities across countries and presents case studies on how policymakers can leverage existing strengths to foster innovation in various sectors. Key Points: 1.Local capabilities are key: Countries should prioritize building upon their existing strengths in science, technology, and production to drive economic diversification. 2.Focus on diverse innovation ecosystems: Encouraging a variety of innovation actors and fostering collaboration is essential for developing complex capabilities. 3.Not all innovation is equal: Complex capabilities, which involve sophisticated technologies and knowledge, are more likely to lead to high growth. 4.Learning from success stories: The report highlights how countries like Italy, Japan, India, Kenya, and Brazil have leveraged local expertise to develop advanced industries like motorcycles, video games, and agricultural technologies. A new policy toolkit: WIPO offers a framework to help policymakers design data-driven innovation policies based on over 600 identified technological, scientific, and production capabilities. #Innovation_policy #Economic_diversification #Local_capabilities #Technological_capabilities #Agricultural_technologies https://lnkd.in/gFpu-gAx
