text: There are the classic inventions (a magical new mech), the innovations (a new animated IP or a board game that’s built a fan base already from a crowdfunding site) and then there’s both (Paw Patrol, the magical toy mech plus the story). When you combine both, you get innoventing. If you can create an idea that has the combination of inventing (conceiving a unique idea) and innovation (executing that unique idea so it has the ability to disrupt) then you’re ‘innoventing’ – you’ve gone beyond the raw invention and shown the vision by applying it to a commercial market.

text: During about last four decades, besides nature’s ferocities and degradation of environmental ecosystem, new risks and challenges are from cyber criminals. Digital assets are their targets for extracting ransoms in millions. They infiltrate through the pores of system peripherals and spread malwares using digital tools. The irony is that, they use mostly the same tools, e. g., AI, ML, RPA, etc. to spawn new malwares, which digital scientists use for ‘innoventing’ solutions and creating deterrents for malwares. This battle is gradually taking dreadful dimensions.
