INNOVATION IS EVERYWHERE

• Every product we use, medical treatment we receive and service we consume is the result of curious minds or agents of change striving to find a better way.

• Outside of the natural world, everything has been imagined, created and improved in a continuous, connected cycle of innovation.

• Innovators are dedicated to pursuing new ideas and finding answers – these answers are transforming our world at lightening speed:

– 90% of the world’s data has been generated in the last 2 years– 65% of today’s teenagers will hold jobs that don’t yet exist– China alone generated over 750,000 patent applications last year, up from 40,000 in

2003

THE LIFECYCLE OF INNOVATION

DISCOVER

To fuel discovery, organizations need the right insights to ensure they invest wisely in people and projects

PROTECT

Without protection, an invention’s value will disappear, along with future funding. The threat is real – more than $1.7 trillion is spent on counterfeit goods each year

COMMERCIALIZE

Driving maximum return on investment is essential to fuel future cycles of innovation. Commercialization unlocks the full value of ideas and brands
