Today's world faces complex and diverse problems. However, it is possible to build a bright future with solutions and innovations that can overcome these problems. People continue to struggle with the many challenges of our time.
Despite all these difficulties, people are showing more interest in new solutions to overcome the problems they experience. The world of science promises us a safer and more sustainable future with innovations where we can achieve a positive result in the fight against climate change, cope with the epidemic more easily, and easily access a new product or service that will support economic growth.
On February 16, the whole world celebrates Innovation Day, which focuses on new knowledge so that societies can become more developed and stronger. On this special day, the achievements of intellectuals who strive to transform the world are honored. New information opens the doors to new technologies, inventions and careers for future generations.
What is innovation?
Innovation is a term that refers to the process of creating, developing and implementing new and original ideas, products, processes or services. This concept generally aims to improve the current situation, find new and effective solutions, gain a competitive advantage or stand out in the market. Although it initially seems to be a term associated with technology, innovation is not only attributed to technological developments; At the same time, business models, organizational processes, marketing strategies and social areas can also be influential.
Especially with technological progress, industrial developments and cultural changes, innovation is becoming more important in many sectors and areas of life. Innovation helps companies ensure their long-term success, grow and adapt to changing market conditions. It is considered a fundamental source of power not only for companies, but also for economic developments, scientific discoveries and social progress.
“Especially with technological progress, industrial developments and cultural changes, innovation is becoming more important in many sectors and areas of life.”
Innovation examples from past to present
To better understand the concept of innovation, let's give a few examples of the most important innovations that have radically changed our lives from past to present.
Internet: Imagine a world where the Internet was never invented… How would we live, what opportunities would we be deprived of? The internet, which we use today at many points from our daily lives to our business lives, took shape in the late 20th century and completely changed worldwide communication and information access in the early 21st century. This revolutionary innovation has caused significant changes in many areas such as social connections, e-commerce, and remote working, as well as access to information.
Mobile devices and smartphones: Smartphones and portable devices have made information and communication easily accessible to everyone. Many applications, cameras, photo and video technologies we use and location-based services have become indispensable services in various areas of our lives. Thanks to our mobile devices, we can perform many transactions quickly and easily.
Genetic engineering and CRISPR-Cas9 gene technology: This technology, also called "genome tailoring", today allows genetic engineers to make additions and deletions to DNA. Researchers recently announced that they have produced more than one new species of fruit fly in the laboratory for the first time with a new genetic engineering method. This could mean that insect-borne diseases may disappear in the future.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning: Artificial intelligence and machine learning have improved the learning ability of computers, increasing their capacity to perform complex tasks. These technologies; It has caused major changes in automation, data analytics, healthcare and many more areas. Today, we use different artificial intelligence-based services in our daily lives. Many features such as banking applications, customer services, and personalized advertisements based on our purchasing histories on e-commerce sites are artificial intelligence-based innovations.
Clean energy technologies: Today, innovations focusing on solar energy, wind energy and other clean energy sources aim to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and combat climate change. Developments in this field are changing the paradigm of energy production and consumption. For example; Such as panels produced with innovative materials to use solar energy more efficiently or hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources by electrolysis.
As KİMSAN, we celebrate Innovation Day with our successes.
Large organizations, especially those that are decisive in economic developments, are focusing on digital transformation and innovations to continue to deliver value and maintain their competitive advantage. As KİMSAN, we center innovation, which is one of the most fundamental dynamics that trigger industrial growth. We balance production factors, create resources, and prioritize investing in technology, innovative projects, R&D and innovation to provide social, environmental and economic benefits.
As KİMSAN, we celebrate Innovation Day with our achievements in previous years.
