If anything, 2021 proved that innovation is more critical than ever. Crisis presents choice and with our lives and businesses upended in every possible way, choosing to innovate creates significant new opportunities.

What is innovation but doing things differently?

What is a better incentive to innovate than the risk of losing it all?
