News and contributions from the INSME Members

“Traditional vs Disruptive Ecosystems” a contribution by INSME President Mr. Andrea Di Anselmo

Mr. Andrea Di Anselmo from META Group (INSME President) has recently published an inspiring post on “Traditional vs Disruptive Ecosystems”.

In his article Mr. Di Anselmo states that a radical change in industry, business strategies and customers' behaviour is transforming the innovation ecosystem which has to face this “disruption” mainly due to the globalization, the rapid advance of technology and the demographic transition.

A new generation of disruptive entrepreneurs is evolving and asks for a clear value proposition to face the new challenges built around:

  • easy access to support;
  • availability of modern and open infrastructures;
  • community services;
  • testing facilities and access to users and a public sector able to play a new facilitator role.

Dr. Hamsa Thota (INSME Board Member from U.S.) took part in the Annual Meeting of the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT)

Dr. Hamsa Thota, President at Innovation Business Development INC. (INSME Board Member from U.S.) recently took part in the Annual Meeting of the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) by delivering a speech on the importance of adopting an innovative approach in the food sector.

Dr. Thota suggested a collaboration among researchers, suppliers and influencers on a project and proposed scientists to adopt an approach based on the three Cs: creativity, communication and collaboration. Furthermore the increasing growth of the world population will create civic and social needs that food scientists will be able to meet through open innovation methods; on a local level, food industries might adopt an approach based on co-creation with the community.

According to Dr. Thota food companies and organizations will benefit from the knowledge gained from the collaboration.

5 Approaches To Growing Your Business Through Innovation - Inputs from Potential (INSME Member from the United Arab Emirates)

Innovation might produce or help to improve business processes increasing their efficiency, quality, productivity and profitability. It can also contribute to business growth and its impact can produce big, small or incremental changes over time.

The article released by Potential (INSME Member from the United Arab Emirates) presents five approaches to growing a business through innovation. These are:

  • Analyze the market to identify opportunities for innovation;
  • Evaluate the competition to have a better vision on how to approach innovation;
  • Consider economic costs, as an innovation needs to be produced or replicated at an economical cost that meets the benefits of both the business and the marketplace;
  • Encourage innovation in the workplace, involving employees to actively participate in the business through innovative ideas;
  • Goal planning to develop a tailored innovation strategy.

WIPO Global Innovation Index (GII) recently released

Effective Innovation Policies for Development is the theme of 2015’s WIPO Global Innovation Index recently released by the World Intellectual Property Organization (INSME Member from Switzerland) in collaboration with Cornell University, INSEAD and with the support of knowledge partners such as A.T. Kearney GmbH and IMP³rove - European Innovation Management Academy (INSME Member from Germany).

By using 79 different indicators, 141 economies have been analyzed to measure their innovative capabilities. The report takes innovation in terms of qualities and policies into account and presents a ranking of the most innovative countries worldwide. With regards to the top ranking the data are basically the same of the Index’s past editions, with Switzerland, confirming the first position, followed by the United Kingdom, Sweden, Netherlands and U.S.A.

It is worth to notice that Czech Republic (24th) is among the first 25 most innovative economies and Ireland (8th) is in the top 10.

The Index also ranks Rwanda (94th), Mozambique (95th) and Malawi (98th) as “innovation achievers”, economies that outperform their peers for their level of gross domestic product. These economies demonstrated growing innovation results as they put their efforts in the improvement of the institutional framework and of innovation infrastructures, a deeper integration with global credit investment and trade markets.

According to the report innovation policies play a central role and it would be useful to design innovation plans tailored on the needs of the communities, particularly in developing and emerging economies.

Find out more about the findings and the ranking included in the WIPO Global Innovation Index 2015 at this page.

Where is the money to pay for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?

The Asian Development Blog launched a poll in August asking readers which are the priority funding sources for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set to be implemented on the 1st of January 2016. According to the majority of the respondents (40%) Governments should take the responsibility for financing SDGs through tax revenues; 36% of respondents think that the private sector should contribute, while the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and the Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) obtained respectively 13% and 9% of votes.

Domestic resources are certainly the most significant, but they also face many challenges, thus according to the poll’s analysis it is worth to consider other sources to move forward in financing SDGs. Among the sources which have to be considered, the poll’s analysis suggests long term sources such as pension funds or sovereign wealth funds which could be unlocked for long-term sustainable investments.

To find out more about the data of this poll please have a look at this page.

Entrepreneurship at a Glance 2015

The OECD (INSME Moral Sponsor) recently published “Entrepreneurship at a Glance 2015”, presenting indicators for measuring the state of entrepreneurship and key facts and explanations of the policy context. The report shows that with the exception of Germany, Italy and Finland, new enterprise creations have demonstrated an upward trend since the crisis period, particularly in Australia and the United Kingdom, as well as in Denmark, Portugal and Sweden in more recent periods. The report also underlines that in the majority of countries bankruptcies showed a decreasing trend, with rates in Canada, Japan, the United States and South Africa significantly below pre-crisis level.

Another striking point concerns self-employment which has demonstrated diverging trends after the crisis, given the impact of the crisis on employment, different regulatory environments and the mechanisms used to mitigate the effect of the crisis. As a matter of fact, in Australia, Germany, Italy, Korea, Japan, Poland and the United States, self-employment rates remain below pre-crisis levels while in Mexico, France and the United Kingdom they are significantly above pre-crisis levels.

Collaborative Innovation: Transforming Business, Driving Growth

The World Economic Forum in collaboration with A.T. Kearney and the IMP³rove - European Innovation Management Academy (INSME Member from Germany) released a report on “Collaborative Innovation: Transforming Business, Driving Growth” which aims at highlighting strategies and approaches that business leaders and policy makers can adopt to establish innovation-focused collaborations.

Based on more than 140 structured interviews and 20 multi-stakeholder workshops involving more than 450 participants, the report groups the main challenges and suggested response strategies into three categories: Prepare, Partner and Pioneer. In this regard, WEF suggests that firms can reap the benefits of collaboration by carefully preparing themselves to partner: having well-defined objectives, a carefully-designed business case, suitable organizational processes. On another level, policy makers and public-sector champions can support innovation-driven collaboration with three categories of activities: Empower, Educate and Enable. Policy makers can in fact play a fundamental role in empowering and connecting firms to innovate; in training firms and individuals to provide the skills needed to partner well; and directly enabling collaborations through supportive regulation and relevant infrastructure investments.
