Innovation in Horizon 20201. What does innovation mean?

“My definition of innovation is the capability of continuously achieving a desired future.” (www.johnkao.com/services)

“What I have learned is that innovation –creating what is both new and valuable – is not a narrowly defined, technical area of competence. (…) Rather, innovation emerges when different bodies of knowledge, perspectives, and disciplines are brought together.” (Innovation Nation, 2007, p. 9)

Definition of Disruptive Innovation by Clayton Christensen:  A process by which a product/service takes root in simple applications at the bottom of a market and then moves up market, eventually displacing established competitors.

Excersise output

• Academia and business speak different languages, think from different directions

• It depends on funding scheme, topic, calldescription, project

• Low TRL means, just consider who couldexploit the results how

• Think from the evaluator‘s point of view: what is convincing?
