Peru Professionals Of The New Millennium 8 16 10asperbyu
The document discusses changes in the modern workforce and provides advice for professionals. It notes that work is becoming more globalized, specialized, and reliant on technology. Workers need to become lifelong learners who can adapt to changing skills demands. The document recommends developing specialized skills, being adaptable to change, and having "STAR" qualities like finding value-added ideas and navigating organizational interests. It emphasizes skills in STEM fields, storytelling, empathy, design, and finding meaning at work. Career development can provide hope by informing decision-making and envisioning goals and pathways. The modern workforce values autonomy, learning, and behaviors formerly expected only of professionals.
1. The document discusses theories of innovation from early 20th century economists like Schumpeter to more modern concepts like open innovation and national systems of innovation.
2. It describes how views have shifted from linear models of innovation to an understanding that innovation is an iterative process influenced by both supply and demand factors.

The document discusses perspectives on venture capital opportunities in Europe. It notes that European VC has been undervalued compared to other alternative assets but that the last two years have seen a turning point. Key investment themes for 2008-2012 include "democratization" by providing access to closed markets and tools/services affordably. While the US dominates in number of leading tech companies, Europe has encouraging prospects for VC due to talent, markets, and sectors like wireless and open source software. Challenges for Swedish startups include incentives to grow and exit but opportunities include a tech savvy population and early adoption of new technologies.
This document summarizes the European Innovation Academy's 4th edition held in 2014 in Nice, France. Over 400 students, speakers, mentors, and professors from 40 countries attended the event. The academy hosted ambitious students and mentors from top universities around the world. The event focused on helping startup teams launch new businesses in 15 days through prototyping, customer validation, and other execution activities. Emerging technologies like 3D printing, big data, and brain-computer interfaces were also discussed in the context of innovation opportunities. The overall goal of the academy was to help participants challenge themselves and learn from both successes and failures in innovating and executing on new ideas.
Presentation To Seda Technology ProgrammeElton050505
The document discusses several topics related to global commercialization of ICT products and services:
1) Globalization has led to an interconnected global marketplace without barriers to technology and business spread worldwide.
2) ICT products and services now commercialized globally include point-of-sale systems, e-commerce platforms, internet and telecommunications infrastructure.
3) There is a shortage of over 37,000 ICT workers in South Africa across many roles like managers, analysts, programmers and technicians needed to support growing commercialization of ICT.

For magic, he said organizations should create "wow factors" through new ideas, being first to market, and delighting customers.
A Sucess Culture for the UK Electronics Systems CommunityIan Phillips
The ESCO Report identified an erstwhile invisible Electronic Systems community in the UK. These are businesses and individuals who's (technical) roles are in the life-cycle of Electronic Systems provision. These 21c enterprises are the evolutionary product of the old 20c electronic companies that used to be visible here ... and whose demise is erroneously seen as the UKs exit from this domain. The 850k individuals; employed in 35,000 ES Enterprises and embedded into other consumer and professional businesses; collectively contribute around 5.4% to UK-GDP. This is a very different 'shaped' business, but is a story of successful adoption to the global business of creating the Electronic Systems we would miss today and on which we will depend tomorrow. This is an opportunity for the UK ... but also for the UK's Academic community within it.

40. US Angels – The REAL early stage
funders !
In 2000 US business Angels invested more than
$200billions in early stage companies
This was much more than the so called “venture capital
industry” which did not reach investment levels that
year of $150 billions.
In the difficult year of 2002 – when VCS “sat on hands”
– Cambridge Angels kept the early stage and emerging
business sector alive and well
Cambridge Angels are adopting the US success
model and working more closely together.
41. “Syndication Nodes” and Business Angels –
Connecting in and from Cambridge
Cambridge has four active Angel Groups – Cambridge
Angels, Cambridge Capital Group, Equus, G.Eastern Investment Forum
