Paths to Innovation
Experiences of researchers at a personal level across the globe?are precious and especially supportive to the morale of others by knowing they are not alone in experiencing the same challenges, creating a support network, and standing up against discrimination, micro-politics, and biases.
?
I prefer a constructive approach to the challenges faced by today's researchers and PhD holders in sciences, technology and engineering, whether they seek to remain in academia, become freelancers, jump to industry, or pursue entrepreneurship.
?
This newsletter has been built around creating paths to innovation, either by confronting current misconceptions about where PhD holders in sciences, technology, and engineering fit in, their current employability status, key areas to face future challenges as well as professional growth, and what innovation means in research and entrepreneurship that acts as added value to their diffusion in the economy and professions.
?
Today's newsletter puts together all these seemingly disconnected pieces and key areas, filling the gaps to provide a holistic view of the value that PhD holders in sciences, technology, and engineering have, and how they can grow to provide room for innovation to flourish.

Bridging the Gap
How can we remove the barrier between researchers and industry? How can PhD holders who create innovation translate complex research into clear information, empowering both sides? Researchers can gain understanding from potential partners, and industries leverage cutting-edge research for practical solutions. Can we attempt a seamless flow from scientific discovery to real-world impact?

Design Thinking
Don't settle for just an idea! Design thinking is not only a framework used in business or leadership- I am sure PhD holders in sciences, technology and engineering have applied occasionally design thinking practices, even though not being able to identify them as such. Design thinking helps us refine our concept, identifies challenges, and boosts our success rate.

Elevating your Innovation
Building a successful startup or commercialising your innovation requires more than just an idea. Mentorship can help to bridge the gap between innovative ideas and thriving businesses. And I am not just talking about current types of mentorship used in entrepreneurship rather than purposeful building a network and mechanism of mentorship to turn a vision into reality- making network connections with the resources and partners meaningful.
