Open innovation platform for sustainability
Background
To achieve Sustainable development Goals, “business as usual” does not function. We need “business as unusual”. We have only five years to accomplish those 17 goals. Now, we need Edisons for the age of sustainability. Even if we had an Edison in our era, inventing a sufficient number of products and services to achieve them would be difficult. However, thanks to the global community and IT technologies, we can collaborate and invent them with 7 billion people.
Project purpose
The New Edison project is to create innovative ideas, produce new products or services, and use them to change our direction to be ecologically friendly, socially inclusive, and economically viable. This project also contributes to achieving the SDGs.
Outputs
- Having business projects to contribute to achieving SDGs.
- Sharing the above business projects with the global community
- Making the above projects sustainable
Mindest
“I have not faild, I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work” – Thomas A. Edison
Plan
- Find scientific findings and traditional wisdom to apply projects to contribute to achieving SDGs.
- Using IT technologies to share the above great works
- To establish the support system for the above projects
Conditions of sustainable product and service
A sustainable product or service should satisfy the following conditions;
- Environmentally effective
- To promote social inclusion
- Economically viable
Let’s start a small project. Prototyping and refining.
Participation
If you can satisfy the above three conditions, any project can apply. We respect natural evolution by mutation and want to accelerate the mutation process through our project. We adapt all directional approaches like dandelions. Let’s spread the seeds of innovation to our planet. If you are interested, please contact us from the contact form of the organizer (Insight Management Inc.)and share your ideas and actions with us.
Caution: this project is an open innovation project. If you plan to hold any intellectual properties of your project, we do not recommend applying this project.
