The book will be released in full on March 30 in the USA. Then the real discussions can start. In the mean time I will be publishing each week as of February 20 and article presenting one innovation in 1000 words, accompanied by a video clip. Kindly note that the selection of the 100 is the result of a 4 year process whereby more than 2,200 innovations were identified, and only 100 were retained exactly for the reasons mentioned. The key parameters for selecting one innovation (which is more than technology) over another is the capacity to work with what we have, the opportunity to generate multiple cash flow, to respond to basic needs, to generate jobs and build up social capital WHILE changing the rules on the market and outcompete the leaders of the present. I hope that you will enjoy reading the 100 cases … and that your discussions will contribute to a deepening of our understanding how the Blue Economy is shaping up beyond what the Green Economy ever expected!
