Innovation in products and processes has the power to realize a more peaceful and sustainable world.
The 3rd annual summit on Peace and Prosperity through Trade and Commerce at the University of San
Diego aimed to explore how product innovations and processes can address some of the most threatening
and complex social and environmental problems we face today. In the new millennium, we are
witnessing creativity married to practical thinking, generating a wave of innovations with the goal of
contributing to a more sustainable and socially just world. Future generations are dependent on our
ability to capture the power of new ideas. This summit addressed the following questions:
- In what ways are innovations contributing to increase prosperity and well being among the
world’s poor? - In what ways can business support local innovations that represent good economic
opportunities as well as vehicles for social change? - What are stepping stone innovations for generating goods and developing processes for
significantly reducing ecological footprints? - How can innovations have the greatest impact on the triple bottom line—people, planet and
profit?
Innovations in products and processes thrive on talent and creative thinking. Innovation is about the
capacity to develop appropriate business models, creating new mindsets while producing a myriad
of goods. From biodegradable medical technology to better sanitation mechanisms for the world’s
poor, innovation for solving intractable social and environmental problems has become ever more
critical in designing, integrating and delivering products that advance global sustainability. It extends to
our capacity to recognize and learn from creativity in any corner of the world, leading to local-global
links for more multidirectional transfers of wealth and social value.
We hope you join us for our 4th annual summit in 2011!
