The Big PictureSlide 10L
If businesses don’t stay up-to-date with products and processes, their competitors will takeover their share of the market. A startup is a fledgling business, often tech-related. Startups often consist of just a few innovators collaborating on an idea to develop a new product or process. Many innovators also take on the role of entrepreneur, organizing, managing the R&D team, and assuming the financial risks of a startup. Through business incubators and accelerators an entrepreneur with a startup can tap into industry expertise for advice, mentorship, networking and sometimes funding. Innovation can happen anywhere – even in a garage or dorm room. Patents, trademarks, and copyrights protect IP from theft. The World Intellectual Property Organization is a UN-related forum for IP policy, information, and cooperation.
Ponder and Predict
For a product, it’s a long journey from an innovator’s brain to a consumer’s hands. How does an idea develop into a marketable product? What are the stages of innovation?
