🎄 Advent Calendar 2024: Day 6 – Scaling Innovation for Transformation 🎄 As we continue unwrapping daily wisdom from the Let’s Talk Innovation and Friday Talks series by NTNU Faculty of Engineering, today’s quote challenges us to think bigger and bolder about the impact of innovation. ✨ "Innovation isn’t just about starting more companies; it’s about creating companies capable of scaling and driving transformation." – Anne Seth, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) Anne reminds us that true innovation isn’t measured by the number of startups launched but by the transformative power of businesses that scale. Building solutions that grow, adapt, and make a meaningful impact is what drives progress. This December, let’s aim higher—not just to innovate but to create scalable solutions that leave a lasting mark. The journey of innovation isn’t just about beginnings; it’s about how far we can go.
