The highlight of the Deloitte Intangible Value Summit 2023 was a presentation by Dr Larry Marshall on Invention to Innovation and how he learned from failure. His recent book charts a course for scientists, leaders, investors and policy makers to translate research into growing innovative, competitive companies and industries.   It demonstrates how science can generate new value that grows markets and creates jobs while also delivering social, environmental and economic benefits. https://www.publish.csiro.au/book/8077/

Two Aussie creations have made Time Magazine's best inventions of 2023 list. Dreamfarm's 'Fluicer' and' Axiom Holographics' Hologram Zoo made the list. Axiom Holographics have designed a world first Hologram Zoo, allowing the public to see virtual animals without venturing out of Brisbane. They act alive but they are entirely made out of laser light.  The Fluicer is a flat juicer that squeezes fruits from the inside and out, with a guarantee to keep the seeds out. It had already won several prestigious design awards before a recommendation from Oprah Winfrey earlier this year catapulted it to world attention. https://9now.nine.com.au/a
