A creative space to experiment with design thinking<\/h3>\n

Are you solving the right problem? In the introduction, we tried to figure out what is innovation. For us, it is simply a creative solution to real-world problems and the most challenging for any innovator is to know that they are solving the right problem. Did you know that many companies went out of business because they tried to solve the wrong problem?
\nIn this section you will have a bit of a play! We have prepared a few games to get your creative juices flowing. Have fun!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Here is a question for you.<\/h3>\n

We know that there are many people in the world who don\u2019t have enough food. What would be a simple solution to this? Send food?<\/p>\n

This may be a good temporary solution to the problem. In long term, it may cause even more harm. The real problem is not lack of food, it is the lack of access to a self-sufficient ecosystem the local food producers can access, for example, access to bank loans.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
