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 magazine's third issue.

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 Issue 3 Amost Complete | 5 July 2012

The final touches are being made to the third issue of Southern Innovator. The issue covers the theme of Agriculture and Food Security and is the result of intensive research. Much of the structure of this issue benefited from the Global South-South Development Expo (GSSD Expo) held in December of 2011 at the Food and Agriculture Organization based in Rome, Italy. An example of the artwork that can be found inside Issue 3 is below:
