Chapter Chapter 3 in Mastering Technology Transfer: From Invention to Innovation, 2023, pp 17-25 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract As in most endeavours, the birth of an invention and its eventual transformation to an innovation are pushed forward actively by driving forces. While new knowledge that arises without a specific objective sometimes may sometimes find eventual application, inventions are more often than not the result of conscious attempts at solving specific bottlenecks or improving processes as a conscious response to demands or needs. Sources of ideas and inventions are found in all sorts of places in our everyday life, from our work and home environments to nature and natural phenomena.
