Innovation in India - Cows or Karma?

We have gotten used to the fact that everybody is outsourcing IT-services left and right (or more accurately, east and south), but the question is if this also means that the Western world is outsourcing its future innovation potential?  Is India an innovation power to look out for?

The Kaospilot Vibe

Back from Oslo - visiting the Kaospilot Oslo camp - my feeling is that the Kaospilot energy and student motivation is truly unique. In Norway as well. You never get spontaneous applause on that level anywhere else. A very open and giving culture in general. To understand that the culture is exportable was good for us in our quest for starting Kaospilot Malmoe during the fall 2006.

Innovation in eastern Europe

Just back from facilitating at the EU-initiative Incubator Forum in beautiful Ljubljana in Slovenia. An event part of the Gate2Growth programme where incubators from all over Europe meeting to share best practices. Interesting discussions and wonderful to see that the new EU-countries really wants to participate in creating the new Europe! From the innovation perspective it seems like the Eastern countries like the southern ones needs to let go of some academical and patriarchal structures before they can really get the free entrepreneurial spirit going. But they are on their way!

We try do ethical business with our heart, soul and mind!
