The document discusses the link between migration and innovation from a development perspective. It defines innovation as new solutions introduced into a market or company. Important factors that foster innovation include exchange, integration into international networks, and mobility of skilled people. Migrants can contribute to innovation through investment channels like remittances and joint ventures, as well as through knowledge and network transfers. The influencing factors include conditions in both the country of origin, like education quality, and country of destination, such as immigration policy and discrimination levels. Examples of programs that promote investment and return of skilled diaspora are discussed from Honduras, Armenia, and Serbia.

Chris Rourke - Beyond our shores: UX Research and Design for International Cu...UCDUK
User experience research and User Centred Design must account for not only the user but also where they live. The surrounding culture, including traditions, language and even religion can have a big impact on the best user experience research methods, design recommendations and also the general uptake of solutions. For multi-national organisations with digital channels, getting this aspect right can mean the difference between a highly effective and enjoyable experience and one that underperforms and confuses users. The talk will explore some ways in which user-centred design research and recommendations can account for local cultures and international factors. How can local culture affect what methods work best and how design ideas can be presented most effectively? We will use examples from various parts of the world, including a case study of researching web accessibility in the Middle East. The project showed how some local cultural factors impacted web accessibility provisions, and recommends an approach to create a viable accessibility “market” including organisations, digital suppliers and people with disabilities. User Vision has worked with several multinational organisations from offices in the UK and the UAE, and will share experiences that they and others in the UX community have gained.

2. What is innovation?
A theoretical approach from development perspective
… not only world first, but also new on the local market or within a

are newly introduced into a market or company (a new context!).
Important factors to foster innovation:

integration into international value chains
AND mobility of people, especially highly skilled
