This post about the WIForum Resurrection is a story about resilience, Covid-19, AI, Purpose, and the quest to understand human progress and development. Covid-19 Experence COVID-19 threw us back to square one. There were no events, no meaningful support, no startups, and no innovation in the industry. Locked down, the team played with innovative methods, […]
Following the knowledge of old Swiss farmers, we will have a centennial summer in 2025. It is expected to be followed by a very harsh winter.

While the technology of the time couldn’t fully realize this vision, today, we stand on […]
World Innovations Forum Foundation is collaborating with BlueCallom on Large-Scale Innovation concepts. Building Concept Innovations are typically Level 4 or 5 innovations, introducing massive advancements to humanity. Some examples include Geo-Thermal Energy Plants that should be able to serve energy on the petawatt level. Enough to produce electricity for the whole world. Or new container […]
Genuine Innovation Examples We analyzed innovative companies and focused on identifying the “Disruptive Moment.” We asked ourselves if it would be possible to achieve similar results through improvements (incremental innovation). We picked Genuine Innovation Examples across different industries, such as Furniture, transportation services, Automotive, satellite communication, financial services, hospitality, and innovation management. To put it […]
Terms like incremental innovation, gradual innovation, or architectural innovation have been coined and used to look like being innovative. Turns out, using those terms is the worst decision one can make. Companies need to be actively improving their existing products and services.
