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.

After a busy couple of weeks, Southern Innovator (SI) is swiftly moving into its next phase. November will be a very busy time for us here at SI.

Stay tuned to see the fruits of this trip and what it will have to offer innovators. As November moves to its final weeks, SI will join many other innovators from the global South at the Global South-South Development (GSSD) Expo.
