Ingredients for innovations
The idea for innovation can be born anytime anywhere. That is the most said sentence when asked whether there needs to be a special time of date or a specific place to come up with new prosperous ideas for R&D to take further. Indeed, here at Valmet’s Flow Control Business Line we have witnessed a blooming innovation culture, as every six months we have new invention disclosures to celebrate on, leading also to new patents. I think there is not any special secret behind a prosperous innovation culture, instead that is a permanent part of everyday work life, that needs just a little bit of a reminding.
