Innovation News

Dear Fellow Innovators,
 

We have been partner with RE.WORK for years now and we really like the work that they are doing in spreading knowledge regarding innovation in business, leadership and technology. Last month, they held a summit in San Francisco about Deep Learning, which has become one of computing’s hottest topics. In this article, GigaOm reflect on Google's researcher Greg Corrado's talk. If you have missed the summit, or have been there and would like to find out about other people's insights from it, check it out Google's 4 easy lessons on deep learning.  


We would like to share with you the new project funded by the European Commission to support design-led innovation across Europe: Design for Europe. With this new platform they aim to help people use design to accelerate innovation across Europe, boosting economic growth and job creation. On their website, you will find a wide range of interesting material and a long list of free events in various European countries. We think it is worth to check it out.  


We have recently shared with you the new book by Dr. Ray Holland and Dr. Busayawan Lam: Managing Strategic Design. After a lot of pursuing, Ray managed to get a special 20% discount for the whole ILF Community. So, if you are interested in getting to know the authors' ideas for using design for innovation and developing/ enhancing creative environments go to palgrave.com and use the code AF15TWENTY.
