    What will it take to develop killer technological innovations in India?
    Hello Everyone,

    Interesting paper -

    “ While doing a study recently to learn from the experience of start ups in biotechnology, a very revealing observation was made by an innovator,” when I went to a senior professor who is quite powerful in the establishment of science in India to tell him about my publication in a top international journal, he did not even smile, much less pat me on the back”.

    "Another mentioned that if radically new ideas have to be allowed to grow, then committees of senior experts ( who know all the reasons why a new idea will not work), will make sure that it does not get a fair chance."

    Hello Everyone,

    At the root of all power and motion, there is music and rhythm, the play of patterned frequencies against the matrix of time. We know that every particle in the physical universe takes its characteristics from the pitch and pattern and overtones of its particular frequencies, its singing. Before we make music, music makes us. --Joachim-Ernst Berend

    Watch an inspiring video here: http://www.dailygood.org/more.php?n=3733

    Details: 33 years ago, Dr. Jose Antonio Abreu gathered 11 students in a parking garage in Caracas, Venezuela and taught them to play music. Over the last three decades, Dr. Abreu's organization, "El Sistema" or "The System" has grown considerably and now teaches music to 300,000 of Venezuela's poorest children. This inspiring video shows the power of Dr. Abreu's vision and the incredible change that ensemble music has brought to the poorest regions of Venezuela.

    Hello Everyone,

    Look out Mickey. Competition in India is hotting up as Cartoon Network Enterprises (CNE) goes on an all out drive to take on rival Disney. “We welcome competition as that makes the process innovative,” says Dulce Lim-Chen, Vice-President, Asia Pacific, CNE, the consumer products division of Cartoon Network, when asked how to compete in the market.

    Hello Everyone,

    A report identifying a broad range of potential benefits of incremental pharmaceutical innovation for India would be released later this week by the US India Business Council (USIBC).

    The report reasons that Section 3(d) of India's Patents Act, which prevents incremental pharmaceutical innovations from receiving patent protection, inhibits development of safer, more efficacious, and more useful drugs for Indian patients.

    Drawing upon studies of the impact of incremental pharmaceutical innovations on the economies of developed and developing nations, interviews with key stakeholders in the Indian pharmaceutical sector, and other methods, the report identifies a broad range of potential benefits of incremental pharmaceutical innovation for India.

    Hello Everyone.

    In this week’s What Matters podcast, we hear from Peter Diamandis, chairman and CEO of the X Prize Foundation—a nonprofit group focused on driving innovation through large, incentive competitions. In 2004, the foundation awarded the Ansari X PRIZE, a $10 million award for the first private group to build and launch a reusable, manned spacecraft.

    Diamandis recently spoke with Paul Jansen, a principal in McKinsey’s San Francisco office, about how prizes can spur innovation, create new markets, and address some of the world’s thorniest socioeconomic problems
