Today at ICC we are celebrating the birthday of Leonardo Da Vinci, born on this day five hundred and sixty-four years ago. To mark the anniversary of the man recognized worldwide for his creativity and inventiveness, we are asking ourselves what the great man himself would think about today’s innovation landscape and if he would approve of ICC’s recently released Principles for Creating and Nurturing Innovation Ecosystems for High-Tech Industries.
Nurturing innovation and a dynamic global economy
From creating the first ever designs for a humanoid robot, "The Robot Knight", to inventions that influenced the modern world of manufacturing, Da Vinci is recognized as one of the world's most ingenious inventors of all time. As such we think he would have shared our belief that building investor confidence, promoting technological collaboration and the exchange of knowledge, protecting intellectual property, and opening markets are paramount to encouraging innovation and the development of knowledge-based industries.
