WHAT IS INNOVATION
The Oxford Dictionary defines “innovation” as a new method, idea, product.
We expand the definition to also include significantly improved methods, ideas or products. Meaning you could create an enhancement, change or addition to a current innovation that significantly improves the innovation or performs the same function in a different way. For example, a plain pencil is used to write, but a pencil with an eraser on it can both write and erase. While a pen performs basically the same function but in a different way. These are all innovations.
Further, you could also combine existing products to come up with a unique innovation. For example a fork combined with a spoon to make a Spork.
Some examples of innovations:
prototype, App, idea, social good program, service, process, or yours could be different from these and we encourage you to apply.
