Southern Innovator Goes Forward with Issues 4 and 5 and an Expo in Kenya | 19 September 2013

As I write, Issue 4 of Southern Innovator is at the printer and being readied for its formal launch (ISBN 978-0-9920217-0-2). Issue 5 (ISBN 978-0-9920217-1-9) is in production and being readied for its launch at the Global South-South Development Expo (GSSD Expo) to be held in Nairobi, Kenya from 28 October to 1 November 2013.

At this point, Issue 6 is also in the works and scheduled for release in 2014.

This next phase for the magazine is critical: the magazine has developed a reputation for chronicling a growing innovation culture in the global South. It is reaching highly influential readers around the world, many of whom are leaders in their countries and communities. In short, it is a powerful communications tool for reaching these individuals.

It is now possible to sponsor the magazine (sponsorship helps to pay for the printing of the magazine) or to fund relevant inserts to be included in the magazine to help our readers. Southern Innovator is a cost-effective tool for reaching a large audience spanning many cultures, countries and communities.  The magazine, for it to continue to be successful, requires adequate funds to cover the costs of research, editing, design and printing. Why not include supporting Southern Innovator in your plans to reach innovators in the global South?

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.
