Australia and Ireland are investing in innovation and economic development based in universities focused on space and astronomy, marine and climate, and future industries.
These two forward thinking countries understand the direct connection between innovation, education, and economic development.
Beyond this, every country and region investing funds in innovation will need to invest as well in new habits of communication and collaboration.
One approach - COINs-collaborative innovation networks - is driven by swarm creativity and accelerates the formation of entrepreneurial cultures.
You can learn more about swarm creativity and COINs in this video interview with MIT research scientist, Peter Gloor. Additional resources are available here.
