Where do 95% of innovations disappear? Why?
Wrong teams, location, timing or application.
Nonstop research without commercialization target. Innovations produced and scaled-up in silos with limited exposure to markets. Disconnect between IP and finance, lack of collaboration between non-profit vs profit.
