"Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought"

Human progress is dependent on new ideas and the ability to implement them. Innovation is seen as the basis of economic growth and social reform. We must encourage and support innovation in every way possible, whether it is education, business strategy or science. Education builds an individual´s ability to innovate. Let´s educate and innovate!
