About Us

The Future is Ours if we Dare!

We believe the future lies in bold experimentation. For decades, we’ve observed the world, discovered its intricacies, and realized a sobering truth: the systems we rely on are relics of a bygone era. They fail to meet the staggering scale of challenges humanity now faces. Survival and progress demand we break free from linear thinking, from the outdated structures holding us back.

The world teeters on a precipice. Yet, from this crisis emerges a profound opportunity: to reimagine, to experiment, to learn from both successes and failures. There is no shame in stumbling on this path of the unknown – only lessons to propel us forward.

To succeed, we must rewire ourselves. We must embrace change as a constant, persistence as our guiding star, and replace insatiable greed with a collaborative spirit. We must ask ourselves, ‘how much is enough?’ and prioritize the greater good. Only then can we navigate these turbulent times.

This is the philosophy driving Innovation Toronto. We will not cling to the past. We will forge new paths, test unconventional ideas, and invite all of you to join us in shaping a future worth living in. Prepare yourselves – this is a journey into the unknown, where transformation through courageous experimentation awaits.”

Update – June 22, 2024

 

Soon . . . very, soon!  We appreciate everyone’s patience . . .

We will also be changing our theme – again.  This one held great promise but it is now past it’s best by date and one of our most important plugins simply refuses to work!  So look for a new look . . . again . . . soon 🙂

 

 

Update – April 27, 2024

 

We welcome you to the new / old Innovation Toronto!

Things are going to be a little ugly for a while as we continue to work backwards from our old theme that has a few style issues attached to it. On some posts you will notice odd spacing and even double images. This is an unfortunate side effect of our updated theme.

We are working on our latest approaches and hope you will check back soon to see the progress. This is going to be a highly experimental and fast changing site for a while so please expect yet more of the unexpected.

As usual, we would love to hear from you particularly if you spot some oddities that we haven’t been able to address as of yet.

Thanks again for your patience and we can’t wait to see what you think of our upcoming new approaches.

The selections are intended to expand awareness and interest in new ideas and approaches while providing an overview of global innovation and discovery. The big hope is that it will help get everyone more interested in science and how research and discoveries can and do affect our everyday lives.

*Innovation is often thought of as the work of a solitary inventor or a small team of researchers, but in reality, true innovation often results from a collaborative effort involving a diverse group of people with different perspectives and skills. This can include individuals from different industries, disciplines, and backgrounds, all working together to solve a problem or create something new. By bringing together a variety of perspectives and skills, a group can identify new opportunities, generate more ideas, and improve upon existing ones. Additionally, group activities can foster a sense of community and creativity, which is essential for real innovation.”
