It encourages independent thinking and questioning that can overturn conventional thought and action. It can be revolutionary." —MSRogers

“Adults and kids can innovate all they want, they just can’t afford to protect what they own from bigger fish that WILL beat them up legally if they try rather than license. Why then bother to innovate?" —Ken Rumments

“To mention corporate outsourcing of innovation to the university, without raising ethical questions about buying the university is not responsible." —M. Bishow

“The most important benefits of innovation are only realized when new ideas are implemented rather than simply debated. Creativity must be appropriately balanced with discipline in order to achieve a dynamic, innovative culture." —Diane Lewis
