Open innovation platform for sustainability
Background
We have already known to achieve Sustainable development Goals or flourishing our home, mother earth, “business as usual” does not function. We need innovative businesses with creative products and services, however, we clearly do not recognize what they are. We have only ten years to achieve those 17 goals. Now we need Edisons for the age of sustainability. Even if we would have an Edison in our era, it would be difficult to invent a sufficient number of products and services to achieve them. However thanks to the global community and IT technologies, we can collaborate and invent them with 7billion people.
Project purpose
New Edison project is to create innovative ideas and produce new products or new services and use them to change our direction to the way ecologically friendly, socially inclusive, and economically viable. This project also contributes to achieving SDGs.
Outputs
- Having business projects to contribute to achieving SDGs.
- Sharing the above business projects to the global community
- Making the above projects sustainable
