Global Innovation Imperatives - Gii
There are many significant issues facing every one of us. Some of these issues are of such societal and global significance that, unless real solutions are found and real actions are taken - by individuals, by organizations and by governments - the consequences will be, literally, disastrous. These can be described as 'global imperatives'.
Through scientific innovation, new chemistry-based solutions are being constantly developed. The scale and pace of innovation, particularly in the areas of sustainability is breathtaking. But still more needs to be done to speed up innovation, to share chemical technologies, to determine strategies for effective delivery on a global scale - above all, to catalyse action amongst all the key stakeholders.
It is to focus on some of these global imperatives that the American Chemical Society’s Committee on Corporation Associates (ACSCCA) and the Society of Chemical Industry (SCI) have joined forces to develop a collaborative venture which it is calling Global Innovation Imperatives or Gii.
