Grounded in extensive multistakeholder input, theframework explores key questions: what defines “goodinnovation”? What values and drivers maximize positivesocial, environmental and economic outcomes? Finally,how can we promote and scale such innovation? Social media has amplified the spread ofinformation about emerging technologies, fuellingviral marketing, while investor interest in early-stageinnovations has surged as firms race to uncoverthe next game-changing breakthrough.
