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?

Issue 4 Starts its Journey Around the World | 6 March 2013

All edits and revisions have been completed for the fourth issue of Southern Innovator. This marks the point at which the magazine will find its way around the world, either digitally, or in its paper, hard copy form. While this happens, Issue 5 will go into full production. It is never too late to get on board and support Southern Innovator. In fact, connect with us early and benefit from our continued growth throughout 2013. Each issue of Southern Innovator is a densely-packed distillation of innovation and innovators drawn from across the global South.

Issue 4 Ready: Cities and Urbanization is the Theme | 17 December 2012

 

Issue 4 of Southern Innovator has been readied for release after a busy production schedule taking in China, South Korea and Austria. Issue 5 is now under way and tackles the opportunities available in a world seeking fresh thinking on how to balance finite resources with an increase in human development. Clever solutions are available across the global South, we found, and the future looks very bright!
