Ideas are like butterflies. Most are beautiful and intriguing. Their elusiveness make them often hard to study, some seem to suddenly just disappear. They are seemingly random creatures but have been proven to demonstrate intelligence and reasoning.

It’s possible to thoughtfully cultivate a garden so that it attracts more butterflies.

The essence of everything we do, at the Applied Innovation Exchange (AIE), is turning ideas into reality. A key aspect is to continuously care for the ecosystem, encouraging exploration of impactful ideas.

Interestingly, leaders of technology driven innovation grow almost four times faster than industry’s average. They are simply great at applying new ideas to areas where it matters.

At the AIE in Silicon Valley we partner with many who also care for the context in which ideas are explored and learnings shared. Just the past few days we have engaged with venture cap firms representing more than $20bn of investments and delivered virtual innovation workshops to clients all over the world.

In times like these, we all need beautiful meadows! If you are an innovator, potential partner or client… or just have spotted an amazing butterfly; don’t hesitate to ping me! Would love to connect!
