15197 - Development and Innovation
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias
The development will not come alone , and if we don’t do our best with our own strength, we will be again dependent if not trapped . It’s just not good enough to talk about the need of development for that to be implemented , because development is a prerequisite for us . So that they should help us there are two basic elements that exst: the Exclusive Economic Zone and Zeolite . But we must relay on the concept of innovation, which is one of the basic specifics of Hellenism . Because innovation is not just a patent , it must be associated with the dynamics of the market that will absorb it , therefore it must solve problems or create new skeptisisms because it opens avenues for our country even on an international level. Innovation does not necessarily require large sums of money to be implemented. But it requires intelligence and freedom. In other words, it should’nt be hampered by bureaucracy and could not only be supported institutionally. Innovation needs a framework that allows the action of intelligence. Academic campuses or even research fields are not sufficient on their on , since there are people and especially younger people who do not have access to them , while they have great inventiveness. So if you want to practically help , there must be an additional field, even more independent and free, where creativity can be expressed without obstacles. This is the reason that the building “Noesis” in Thessaloniki exists. There, every open mind could present it’s new ideas without hesitation , to freely show his work in order to be selected without any other qualifications, than the production of an idea that could potentially leads to an innovation . In this context there will be Master Class with open issues , such as idiothyella and lateral thinking, where as a team we will try to solve efficiently and durably, the practical problems of innnovation.
