Innocentive is an online marketplace that connects companies seeking research and development solutions with a large number of unknown professionals worldwide who may be able to help find effective answers to their questions. Companies post problems or puzzles on the Innocentive website and offer prizes for solvers who can come up with effective solutions. This concept of open innovation allows companies to source ideas from outside their organizations to supplement internal R&D, reduce costs, and lower the risks of innovation. Innocentive uses social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and blogs to promote open innovation and connect seekers with solvers from around the world.
This presentation was given at the 2012 Online Research Methods Conference in London, UK. The content focuses on an overview of crowdsourcing as a possible research methodology when appropriate.
Open innovation and the 5 Pillars of a Startup CommunityNicola Mattina
In a world, where every company has to become (more or less) a software company, it is necessary to promote the transition from closed innovation (R&D centers) and open innovation models (crowdsourcing portals) to innovation ecosystems (like Cintrifuse in Cincinnati).
In innovation ecosystems, startups communities take on a strategic role. How do they work? And more important: is it possibile to design and deploy them? To find an answer, we first need to recognize that innovation ecosystems have 5 pillars:
1.
Financial Capital. Of course you need money, but this is not enough. Every time governments have put money on the table to encourage entrepreneurship, they have wasted it and have obtained nothing except corruption and no return on investment for the community. Before adding financial resources, it is necessary to grow intellectual and relational capitals.
2.
Intellectual Capital is the all the knowledge you need to create new products and services. That means higher education, software education and the know-how necessary to transform an invention or an idea in a something the a customer wants to buy (lean methodologies).
3.
Relational Capital is needed to have ideas and competences circulate in the community. Innovation is an incremental process: you need occasions to share ideas, share knowledge and build trust. Techniques to grow the relational capital are very well described in Brad Feld's book, Startup Communities.
4.
Innovation Ideology. You cannot innovate, if you do not think that what you do has a positive impact on the future. The Silicon Valley has produced an ideology around three main ideas: the exponential growth, the presumption that the future is predictable and the belief that technology creates a better world. It is not very different from XIX centuries ideologies: there is a status quo to disrupt and a bright future that is waiting for us.
5.
Finally cultural heritage. This is a very neglected aspect: it's a matter of fact that a startup community is not born in a vacuum, but in a specific geographic area and in a specific historical moment. And this determines its chances of success. One of the most interesting analysis on the impact of cultural heritage on the formation of a startup community is contained in the book Startup Nation. Reading the book, many focus their attention on the Israelian Fund of funds, forgetting that most of the book describes the role of the military service, social cohesion and the insolence (chutzpah) of the Jewish people as key factors in starting a community of people dedicated to technological innovation. And of course this is true also for Silicon Valley, as America describes itself as the land of freedom and opportunity, a place where you can have success if you work enough to achieve it.
This presentation was from the webinar "Crowdsourcing for Product Managers" held on May 31/11. It looks at crowdsourcing as an option for product managers to help build better products, stay in tune with the market, and create stickiness with prospects and customers.
Since the term crowdsourcing was coined eight years ago, the idea of tapping the knowledge, opinions, and ideas of the crowd has spread quickly and evolved in interesting ways. Today, every industry has examples of crowdsourcing and how it has helped with their innovation goals. In this webinar, Stefan Lindegaard provides history lessons, a present overview and future predictions on the benefits and challenges that come with crowd sourcing.

THIS IS AN ARTICLE ON THE THEME- "INNOVATE". THE ARTICLE IS PART OF TASK (CONTENT WRITING) UNDER THE CONTENT DEVELOPMENT DOMAIN. THE ARTICLE IS PUBLISHED ON MEDIUM. THIS TASK IS PART OF THE GRIP INTERNSHIP BATCH JANUARY 2022.
Remember Marc Andreesens famous quote "Software is eating the world"? You can see it happening in many industries: Startups are innovating at a rapid pace and are often disrupting established companies. Eventually every industry will be disrupted by digital technology.
Here is what is fascinating:
1. Big corporates have plenty of resources, a huge customer base, experts in market research etc. Why is it that they fail to innovate?
2. Startups most of the time lack resources, a customer base, experts in market research etc. How do they come up with innovative, disruptive and eventually successful business models?
Luckily both questions have been answered. Clay Christensen has described the answer to the first question in his book The Innovator’s Dilemma. Go read it, it is really good.
Steve Blank and Eric Ries have built a framework called The Lean Startup to answer the second question.
This slide deck explains the innovators dilemma, how startups build businesses and what corporates can learn from them. It merely scratches the surface but it is a start for now. Tell me what you think in the comments.

In order to achieve growth in society it is essential to have companies and innovators who successfully can commercialize their products and services. However, there are far too many inventions that do not manage to become commercialized. The paper present different ways for companies, innovators and investors to bridge this gap. Also EU has an important role to play when it concerns commercialization of innovations by embracing two different approaches to innovate. In the first approach an innovator or company innovate to meet a demand. In the other approach innovators first develop a product without a demand. The demand is created later and then become commercialized.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

2. Innocentive is a market place structured by a web company which enables companies searching for R&D solutions to reach an extensive number of unknown professionals worldwide which may help to find effective answers to questions. Innocentive, a fusion of the words innovation and incentive take place for people to bring out to the world their innovative solutions for what initially seemed to be impossible to be solved through traditional methods of R&D. Who needs a solution for any sort of problem (from chemistry to business & entrepreneurship, from physical sciences to engineering & designs), the seeker TM, as so called by innocentive post it on innocentive website & offer a prize for who else. The solvers TM believe can come up with effective answers for the puzzle.
3. This new concept of relationship between companies & individuals is known as open innovation. It means: “in a world of widely distributed knowledge, companies cannot afford to rely entirely on their own research, but should instead buy or license processes or inventions from other companies. In addition, Internal inventions not being used in a firm’s business should be taken outside the company”.
36. Clearly some of these new initiatives reflect the commercial viability of open innovation and business models. Earlier most open source projects had no commercial intent. Also is interest to remark that a handful of companies like Google, Amazon, and salesforce.com found it strategically advantageous to use free open source software for their own infrastructure . Now the perception of the need of being more “open to innovations” lead companies to thrown away old believes regarding creating its own IP as it is not a determinant or a pre-requisite for success. Beyond regular high tech companies, which in its desperate search for new discoveries spend millions of dollars to keep up-to-date with market demands and ahead of its competitors fast movements, many sort of companies which is in the fast-paced industries can take advantage of the open innovation source of solutions. A great market for open innovations on the marketing sector. Marketing companies might post challenges to outsourcing inventive people to find solutions to every task of its own work, like products and logo designs, digital graphics solutions and many others.
