Issues 4 and 5 in Heavy Production in Next Two Weeks | 6 December 2012

 

As the year comes to a close, the next two issues of Southern Innovator are in production. Fired up by the many innovators met at the Global South-South Development Expo (GSSD Expo) recently held in Vienna, Austria, the magazine will feature some of their ideas and innovations. Recent trips to South Korea and China have also heavily influenced these issues.

Southern Innovator is both designed and printed using 100 per cent renewable energy. It is part of the philosophy underpinning Southern Innovator to challenge ourselves to do things differently, better and to strive to be open to new thinking and ways. Already, it is possible to look back over the past couple of years and see some of the innovators we first profiled now overseeing globally scaled-up initiatives and innovations.

We look forward to 2013 with great enthusiasm and hope we can scale up the Southern Innovator project to the next level.

Southern Innovator Ready for UN General Assembly | 26 September 2012

Print hard copies of Southern Innovator‘s third issue are now available in New York. And just in time for the UN General Assembly, which is meeting this week. While this is not the intended audience for Southern Innovator, I hope it proves an inspiring read for those attending the General Assembly. Issues 4 and 5 are in development and will be published in 2012.

Southern Innovator Issue 3 Ready for Printing and Global Launch | 17 August 2012

All the corrections have been made and Southern Innovator‘s third issue is ready to launch. With a slight tweak on the theme – from agriculture to agribusiness, reflecting the many innovative business models featured in Issue 3 – the magazine will soon join issues 1 and 2.

Work is already underway on issues 4 and 5. The themes for these issues are Cities and Urbanization (Issue 4) and Waste and Recycling (Issue 5).

With three issues completed, I think it is now possible to see the vision and thinking behind the magazine and also to grasp the potential of a concept like Southern Innovator. This is a good time to come on board and support the magazine as either a sponsor or advertiser. Contact us at southerninnovator@yahoo.co.uk.

Southern Innovator has recently been working from London’s start-up epicentre of Hoxton/Shoreditch. Located just a short walk away from London’s ‘Silicon Roundabout’, Southern Innovator is able to enjoy the buzzing atmosphere of the area that is home to many innovators from around the world.

Southern Innovator Expanding in 2012 | 8 May 2012

Southern Innovator magazine is moving forward for 2012. Issue 1 launched in May 2011 in both its electronic and print versions. The response since then to the magazine has ranged from readers valuing the stories and information profiled, to other readers admiring the sharp graphic design and illustrations. Southern Innovator‘s second issue went online in March 2012 and the print version is slated for release in May 2012 (contact southerninnovator@yahoo.co.uk to get copy orders in early). The third issue is currently in production and issues four and five will also come out in 2012.
