Podcasts about global innovation index

China is set to make the development of new quality productive forces one of the top priorities of its next five-year plan, as policymakers seek to upgrade the nation's industrial structure, spur innovation-driven growth, and reinforce confidence in the long-term outlook of the world's second-largest economy, said officials, experts and global executives.官员、专家及全球企业高管表示，中国计划将发展新质生产力列为下一个五年规划的重点任务之一，政策制定者正致力于推动产业结构升级、激发创新驱动型增长，并增强对这一世界第二大经济体长期发展前景的信心。The new blueprint will serve as a crucial bridge between the current phase of recovery and China's goal of basically achieving socialist modernization by 2035. Experts said it underscores the country's resolve to reinvigorate growth amid domestic structural pressures and rising global uncertainties, steering the economy toward new drivers such as advanced manufacturing, green transformation and digital innovation.这份新蓝图将成为当前复苏阶段与中国2035年基本实现社会主义现代化目标之间的重要桥梁。专家指出，这凸显了中国在国内结构性压力和全球不确定性上升的背景下重振增长的决心，推动经济向先进制造业、绿色转型和数字创新等新动力方向发展。Their comments came as the market is closely watching the draft proposals for the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30), as the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China is holding its fourth plenary session in Beijing to deliberate on the drafting of the blueprint for China's development over the next five years.他们的表态正值市场密切关注“十五五”规划草案之际，中共二十届四中全会正在北京召开，审议未来五年中国发展蓝图的编制工作。President Xi Jinping shed light on the likely key priorities in Shanghai in April as he presided over a symposium on China's economic and social development in the 15th Five-Year Plan period and delivered an important speech.4月，习近平主席在上海主持“十五五”时期经济社会发展座谈会并发表重要讲话，阐明了未来五年可能的重点任务。Xi, who is also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, said higher strategic priority must be given to fostering new quality productive forces in line with local conditions in the next five years.作为中共中央总书记，习近平强调，未来五年必须结合地方实际，把培育新质生产力摆在更突出的战略位置。Highlighting the roles of technological innovation and the real economy, he called for efforts to transform and upgrade traditional industries, develop emerging industries, and make forward-thinking arrangements for industries of the future, in order to accelerate modernization of the industrial system.习近平主席强调科技创新和实体经济的重要作用，呼吁着力推动传统产业转型升级、发展战略性新兴产业、前瞻布局未来产业，以加快推进工业体系现代化。Robin Xing, chief China economist at Morgan Stanley, said his team believes that China will remain committed to deepening the economic transition anchored in technology and innovation to secure the supply chain and energy self-sufficiency. "We expect a tech-and supply-driven framework."摩根士丹利首席中国经济学家邢自强表示，其团队认为中国将继续致力于深化以科技和创新为核心的经济转型，保障供应链和能源自给自足，“我们预计将形成一个以科技和供应链为驱动的框架”。Zhang Ning, senior China economist at UBS Investment Bank, said China is likely to continue offering support in fundamental and frontier research, and in self-sufficiency technology bottleneck areas during the next five years.瑞银投资银行高级中国经济学家张宁指出，未来五年中国可能会继续支持基础研究和前沿研究，并在关键技术“卡脖子”领域助力自主可控。"We think fostering 'high-quality growth' will likely be the top priority over the next decade, mainly driven by innovation and total factor productivity growth," Zhang added.她补充道：“我们认为，未来十年‘高质量增长'有望成为首要任务，这一增长将主要由创新和全要素生产率提升驱动”。A meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, chaired by Xi in late September, discussed major issues related to the formulation of the 15th Five-Year Plan for national economic and social development.9月底，习近平主席主持召开中共中央政治局会议，研究“十五五”时期国民经济和社会发展规划编制的重大问题。The meeting stressed the need to remain committed to high-quality development, foster new quality productive forces in line with local conditions, and comprehensively deepen reform while further expanding high-level opening-up.会议强调，要坚持高质量发展，结合地方实际培育新质生产力，全面深化改革并进一步扩大高水平对外开放。Citing research topics for the next five-year plan released by the National Development and Reform Commission, the country's top economic regulator, Ye Fan, an analyst at Southwest Securities, said the scope of studies under the upcoming five-year plan has expanded significantly, with newly added topics accounting for about 50 percent of the total.西南证券分析师叶凡援引中国最高经济调控机构国家发展和改革委员会发布的“十五五”规划研究课题指出，下一个五年规划的研究范围大幅扩大，新增课题约占总数的50%。"Among them, subjects related to technological innovation and industrial development increased by 80 percent and 64 percent, respectively," Ye noted. "The topics cover key areas such as global technological and industrial transformation, talent development and innovation capacity building. In terms of industrial priorities, the focus is placed on key areas including the digital economy, artificial intelligence, services and healthcare."其中，科技创新和产业发展相关课题占比分别提升80%和64%，涵盖全球科技产业变革、人才培养、创新能力建设等关键领域；产业重点则聚焦数字经济、人工智能、服务业、医疗健康等方向。According to Ye, policymakers will place greater emphasis on development quality, efficiency and sustainability in the next five years. "It will drive industrial upgrading through technological innovation, deepen the integration of the digital and real economies, and promote a comprehensive green transformation of China's economy and society."叶凡表示，未来五年政策制定者将更注重发展质量、效率和可持续性，通过科技创新推动产业升级，深化数字经济与实体经济融合，促进中国经济社会全面绿色转型。In March 2024, Zheng Shanjie, head of the NDRC, told a symposium that the planning of the 15th Five-Year Plan will fully take into account the practical requirements for developing new quality productive forces.2024年3月，国家发展和改革委员会（NDRC）主任郑栅洁在一场座谈会上表示，“十五五”规划编制将充分考虑发展新质生产力的实际需求。He said policymakers will focus on identifying key tasks and foundational projects to promote the growth of new quality productive forces as they set major goals, strategic missions, reform measures, and large-scale projects for the next stage of China's economic and social development.他指出，政策制定者在确定下一阶段中国经济社会发展的主要目标、战略任务、改革举措和重大项目时，将重点明确推动新质生产力发展的关键任务和基础性项目。Hu Yuwei, chief policy analyst at China Securities, said the next five-year blueprint will place greater emphasis on innovation-driven growth, green and low-carbon development, and digital transformation to adapt to the trends of globalization and informatization.中国证券首席政策分析师胡玉玮表示，下一个五年规划蓝图将更加强调创新驱动增长、绿色低碳发展和数字化转型，以适应全球化和信息化趋势。China's innovation capacity has risen rapidly over the past few years. According to the "Global Innovation Index 2025" report released by the World Intellectual Property Organization, China has risen to 10th place in the global innovation ranking for 2025, up one spot from last year, marking its first entry into the top 10.过去几年，中国创新能力快速提升。根据世界知识产权组织发布的《2025年全球创新指数》报告，中国2025年全球创新排名升至第10位，较上年提升1位，首次进入前十。However, Hu cautioned that challenges remain. "Our basic research remains relatively weak, with insufficient concentration of scientific resources and a lack of systematic advantage in original innovation."不过，胡玉玮也提醒，挑战依然存在。“我国基础研究相对薄弱，科技资源集中度不足，原始创新缺乏系统性优势。”Hu suggested that during the next five years, China should strengthen its national strategic science and technology capacity, enhance self-reliance in core technologies, and promote advanced, smart and green manufacturing.胡玉玮建议，未来五年，中国应强化国家战略科技力量，提升核心技术自主可控能力，推动先进制造、智能制造和绿色制造发展。Global executives hailed China's ongoing efforts to foster new quality productive forces, saying that multinational corporations will see rising opportunities in the next few years.全球企业高管对中国培育新质生产力的持续努力表示赞赏，认为跨国公司未来几年将迎来更多机遇。"I don't see China only as just the market. I think China has probably become an engine for some specific innovations, which we can develop elsewhere," said Estelle Brachlianoff, CEO of Veolia, a French transnational group focusing on ecological environment and resource management.法国生态环境与资源管理跨国集团威立雅首席执行官埃斯特尔・布拉希利亚诺夫（音译）表示：“我不认为中国只是一个市场，我认为中国很可能已成为某些特定创新的引擎，这些创新成果也可应用到其他地区。”Brachlianoff said she is confident that China's upcoming 15th Five-Year Plan will keep green development high on the agenda, creating more opportunities for Veolia in areas such as decarbonization and ecological restoration.布拉希利亚诺夫称，她相信中国即将出台的“十五五”规划将继续把绿色发展置于重要议程，为威立雅在脱碳、生态修复等领域创造更多机会。Marc Horn, president of Merck China, said China is an important source of innovation. "We are very confident in staying the course and remaining committed to our investments (here in China)."默克集团中国区总裁何慕麒表示，中国是重要的创新源泉。“我们对在中国的发展道路充满信心，并将继续坚定投入。”underscore/ˌʌndəˈskɔː(r)/v.强调；凸显bottleneck/ˈbɒtlnek/n.瓶颈；障碍reinforce/ˌriːɪnˈfɔːs/v.增强；巩固deliberate/dɪˈlɪbəreɪt/v.审议；仔细考虑

This week, as the dust settles on another quarter of global economic uncertainty, we're trying to find pockets of optimism. We actually found one right here at home. Domenique kicks us off with a surprising announcement. She's launched a new dip company with her partner in New South Wales! We take that local entrepreneurship and immediately zoom out to the world of finance, where gold prices are up a remarkable 50% this year. The whole conversation becomes a search for the connections between small-scale ventures and the massive forces that drive the world economy.In our first major segment, What's in the News, we dive into three of the week's biggest movers including the Reserve Bank of Australia's recent decision to hold rates, the latest Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, and the World Intellectual Property Organization's innovation rankings. This leads to a discussion about the true engines of progress. We look at everything from the history of scientific thought to the painful but necessary concept of creative destruction. Our conclusion? Sustained, meaningful growth doesn't come from policy alone. It relies on how well societies connect foundational knowledge, invention, and an institutional openness to radically new ideas.We transition into a hard look at global stability. In The Hand, we break down the surprising resilience of Russia's war economy, the shadowy and often misunderstood hidden oil trade, and what a slowing GDP across major nations actually means for global risk. Then, we wrap up with The Invisible, which tackles Elon Musk's insistence that population collapse is the greatest long-term threat to civilization. This prompts us to consider the future of growth itself, and whether an aging, shrinking global populace can still power the world forward.Episode Highlights: [02:12] Our conversation shifts to investment regrets and the surge in gold prices, up over 50% this year.[03:21] We debate whether gold remains a safe haven or if it's now overvalued in a volatile global economy.[05:01] We preview key topics from What's in the News including the RBA's rate decision, the Nobel Prize in Economics, and global innovation rankings.[05:44] Discussion begins on the Reserve Bank of Australia holding rates steady at 3.6% amid sticky inflation.[07:54] Paul explains how tariff policies and inflation dynamics are complicating economic forecasts.[10:13] He predicts stable interest rates for the remainder of the year, with only a slim chance of increases.[11:08] The focus shifts to the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences and its origins with Sweden's central bank.[13:29] They reveal this year's winners: Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion, and Peter Howitt.[15:10] Discussion of Mokyr's research on linking scientific knowledge and technological progress to growth.[16:22] Aghion and Howitt's model of creative destruction and endogenous growth is explored in depth.[18:39] Domenique and Paul compare the two approaches and their policy implications for innovation ecosystems.[20:05] We transition to the Global Innovation Index released by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).[21:14] Germany drops out of the top 10, replaced by China, sparking debate on innovation metrics.[25:31] They reveal the top-ranking countries: Switzerland, Sweden, the US, South Korea, Singapore, and others.[27:16] Australia ranks 22nd, reflecting its reliance on low-tech industries despite strong economic size.[28:28] Domenique calls for more “creative destruction” to boost Australia's innovation standing.[28:43] In The Hand, the discussion turns to Russia's war economy and its resilience under sanctions.[31:36] Despite falling export revenues, oil production remains high with shadow trade and barter deals.[36:00] Russia's GDP slows from 6.2% to 1.1% as the war drags on, though unemployment stays low.[38:25] Paul argues that both Russia and Ukraine face economic exhaustion in a prolonged war of attrition.[40:22] In The Invisible, we explore Elon Musk's claim that population collapse is civilization's greatest threat.[41:23] We discuss declining birth rates, aging populations, and the economic ripple effects of demographic change.[42:00] Reflections on long-term sustainability, growth, and humanity's capacity to adapt.Resources & Links Related to this EpisodeThe Invisible Hand PodcastThe Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA)Nobel Prize in Economic SciencesWIPO Global Innovation Index

Come sempre, la prima parte del programma è dedicata all'attualità. Iniziamo con un importante sviluppo in Medio Oriente. Lunedì, durante un vertice in Egitto, i leader mondiali hanno firmato la prima fase dell'accordo di cessate il fuoco per Gaza, dopo il rilascio degli ostaggi israeliani e dei prigionieri palestinesi. C'è sicuramente motivo di festeggiare, ma gli esperti avvertono che le sfide non sono ancora finite. Proseguiremo, poi, con l'annuncio del Premio Nobel per la Pace. Quest'anno, la vincitrice è María Machado, una delle principali figure dell'opposizione venezuelana ai governi di Hugo Chávez e Nicolás Maduro. Durante il suo discorso di accettazione, Machado ha dedicato il premio, in parte, al Presidente degli Stati Uniti, Donald Trump. Ne parleremo più tardi, e cercheremo di capire se questa dedica sia stata appropriata oppure no. Nella nostra sezione scientifica parleremo del Global Innovation Index, appena pubblicato dall'Organizzazione Mondiale per la Proprietà Intellettuale. Tra le notizie principali, spicca il sorpasso della Cina sulla Germania nella classifica dei dieci Paesi più innovativi al mondo. E concluderemo la prima parte del programma con una conversazione sul Premio Nobel per la Letteratura. A vincerlo quest'anno è stato lo scrittore ungherese László Krasznahorkai.    La seconda parte della puntata è dedicata alla lingua e alla cultura italiana. L'argomento grammaticale di oggi è Introduction to Relative Pronouns: I Pronomi Relativi. Ne troverete numerosi esempi nel dialogo che seguirà, ispirato alla notizia dell'esposizione ad Assisi delle reliquie di San Francesco — un evento unico nella storia, che avrà luogo tra febbraio e marzo del 2026. Nel finale ci soffermeremo sull'espressione idiomatica di oggi: Non sapere che pesci pigliare. Il dialogo in cui la useremo prende spunto dalla recente decisione del celebre resort sciistico di Madonna di Campiglio, nel cuore delle Dolomiti di Brenta, in Trentino, di introdurre un limite al numero di turisti per contenere la folla sulle piste. - Tra le celebrazioni per il cessate il fuoco in Medio Oriente, risuona l'invito alla cautela da parte degli esperti - La leader dell'opposizione venezuelana María Corina Machado riceve il Premio Nobel per la Pace 2025 - La Cina ha sostituito la Germania nella top ten dell'Indice globale dell'innovazione - Lo scrittore ungherese László Krasznahorkai riceve il Premio Nobel per la letteratura - Assisi, le spoglie di San Francesco mostrate al mondo - Madonna di Campiglio mette un limite al turismo invernale

Wie immer ist der erste Teil des Programms aktuellen Ereignissen gewidmet. Wir beginnen mit einer wichtigen Entwicklung im Nahen Osten. Am Montag unterzeichneten internationale Spitzenpolitiker während eines Gipfeltreffens in Ägypten die erste Phase des Waffenstillstandsabkommens für den Gazastreifen, nachdem israelische Geiseln und palästinensische Gefangene freigelassen worden waren. Es gibt definitiv Grund zum Feiern, aber Experten warnen auch vor bevorstehenden Problemen. Anschließend sprechen wir über die Bekanntgabe des Friedensnobelpreises. Die diesjährige Preisträgerin ist María Corina Machado, eine prominente Führerin der venezolanischen Opposition gegen die Regierungen von Hugo Chávez und Nicolás Maduro. Bei der Entgegennahme der Auszeichnung widmete Machado den Preis zum Teil US-Präsident Donald Trump. Wir werden darüber diskutieren, ob diese Widmung angemessen war. In unserem Segment zu Wissenschaft und Technologie sprechen wir über den Global Innovation Index, der gerade von der Weltorganisation für geistiges Eigentum veröffentlicht wurde. Eine der wichtigsten Schlagzeilen des Berichts ist, dass China Deutschland in der Top-Ten-Liste der Innovationsführer abgelöst hat. Und wir beenden den ersten Teil unseres Programms mit einer Diskussion über den Literaturnobelpreis. In diesem Jahr ging der Preis an den ungarischen Schriftsteller László Krasznahorkai. Der Rest des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Die heutige Grammatiklektion konzentriert sich auf 2-Way Prepositions. Wir sprechen über Expats, Menschen, die ihr Land verlassen haben, um in Deutschland zu leben. Einige von ihnen haben Deutsch gelernt. Anderen fällt dies schwer, da sie – insbesondere in großen Städten – wenig Gelegenheit haben, ihr Deutsch zu üben, da Gespräche oft auf Englisch stattfinden. Die Redewendung dieser Woche ist Einen Stein im Brett haben. Wolf Biermann ist eine der Persönlichkeiten, die bei uns einen Stein im Brett haben. Er kämpfte für eine bessere, freiere und menschlichere DDR und sagte sich später ganz vom Kommunismus los. Waffenstillstand im Nahen Osten – Experten warnen jedoch vor Herausforderungen Friedensnobelpreis 2025 für die venezolanische Oppositionsführerin María Corina Machado China löst Deutschland in den Top Ten des Global Innovation Index ab Literaturnobelpreis für den ungarischen Schriftsteller László Krasznahorkai Expats in Deutschland Wolf Bierma

China's rapid development and strong protection of intellectual property have been praised by Daren Tang, director-general of the World Intellectual Property Organization, as a significant achievement not only for the country but also for the world.世界知识产权组织总干事邓鸿森（Daren Tang）称赞中国知识产权领域的快速发展与有力保护，认为这不仅是中国的重大成就，也为世界作出重要贡献。"The Chinese IP ecosystem cannot just be said to be one of huge quantity, but increasingly of high quality as well," Tang said at the opening ceremony of the 14th China International Patent Fair in Dalian, Liaoning province, on Monday.邓鸿森周一在辽宁省大连市举行的第十四届中国国际专利技术与产品交易会上致辞时表示：“中国的知识产权生态系统不仅规模庞大，质量也在不断提升。”Tang highlighted China's innovative progress, noting that the country entered the top 10 in WIPO's Global Innovation Index in 2025, making it the highest-ranked among upper-middle-income economies. He said 24 of China's innovation clusters are among the world's top 100, with the Hong Kong-Guangzhou-Shenzhen cluster ranked first.邓鸿森强调了中国在创新领域的进步，指出中国在2025年世界知识产权组织《全球创新指数》中跻身前10位，成为排名最高的中高收入经济体。他表示，中国有24个创新集群进入全球百强，其中“香港-广州-深圳”创新集群位列全球第一。He also commended China's strong momentum in its green transition, citing rapid growth in the electric vehicle industry, which has surged by 36 percent, the battery industry (53 percent) and the solar industry (18 percent). These advancements, he said, are helping drive green technology and artificial intelligence-enabled industries, which now make up nearly one-fifth of China's economy.他还赞扬中国在绿色转型方面势头强劲，并以相关产业的快速增长为例：电动汽车产业增长36%、电池产业增长53%、太阳能产业增长18%。他表示，这些进展正推动绿色技术和人工智能赋能产业发展，目前这类产业已占中国经济的近五分之一。In response to challenges brought by emerging digital technologies, especially AI, Tang called for adjustments to better support the integration of digital and industrial innovation. He stressed that intellectual property should be made more accessible, benefiting not only large enterprises but also startups and small and medium-sized companies.针对新兴数字技术（尤其是人工智能）带来的挑战，邓鸿森呼吁作出调整，以更好地支持数字创新与产业创新的融合。他强调，应提高知识产权的可及性，让其不仅惠及大型企业，也能助力初创企业和中小企业发展。"IP must accompany the aspirations of researchers and scientists so that laboratory results can have a real impact on society and the economy," he said.他表示：“知识产权必须与科研人员的愿景相伴而行，唯有如此，实验室里的成果才能对社会和经济产生切实影响。”Tang also called for a more comprehensive approach to intellectual property management—integrating patents, trademarks and designs into cohesive business strategies—and suggested policymakers align IP policies across industrial, digital and creative sectors to encourage innovation synergies.邓鸿森还呼吁采用更全面的知识产权管理方法，将专利、商标和外观设计整合为统一的商业战略。他建议政策制定者协调产业、数字和创意领域的知识产权政策，以激发创新协同效应。The 14th China International Patent Fair, which concludes on Wednesday, aims to promote patent transformation and utilization to empower innovative development. The event, considered China's premier national exhibition in the IP field, has become an important platform for exchanging innovations and fostering trade cooperation across industries both domestically and internationally.第十四届中国国际专利技术与产品交易会将于周三闭幕，展会旨在推动专利转化运用，为创新发展注入动力。作为中国知识产权领域的顶级国家级展会，该交易会已成为国内外各行业交流创新成果、促进贸易合作的重要平台。During the opening ceremony, Antonio Campinos, president of the European Patent Office, delivered a speech via video link. He said that in 2024, the office received 200,000 patent applications, with more than 10 percent coming from China, making the country the fourth-largest source of applications.开幕式上，欧洲专利局局长安东尼奥·坎皮诺斯（Antonio Campinos）通过视频连线致辞。他表示，2024年欧洲专利局共收到20万件专利申请，其中逾10%来自中国，中国成为该局第四大专利申请来源国。Campinos said the office has launched services to help innovators gain easier and faster access to the European market and expressed his eagerness to continue working with China to build a high-quality intellectual property system.坎皮诺斯表示，欧洲专利局已推出相关服务，帮助创新者更便捷、更快速地进入欧洲市场。他还表达了与中国继续合作、共建高质量知识产权体系的期待。Shen Changyu, head of the China National Intellectual Property Administration, likened the use of patents to a "bridge" that transforms innovative achievements into productive forces. He emphasized its importance for driving innovation-led development.中国国家知识产权局局长申长雨将专利运用比作一座“桥梁”，能将创新成果转化为现实生产力。他强调，这对于推动创新驱动发展具有重要意义。Shen encouraged more intellectual property exchanges during the event, describing it as a platform to promote high-level opening-up and support high-quality growth.申长雨鼓励各方在此次展会上开展更多知识产权交流，并表示该展会是推动高水平对外开放、支持高质量发展的重要平台。World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)n.世界知识产权组织 /wɜːld ˌɪntəˈlektʃuəl ˈprɒpəti ˌɔːɡənaɪˈzeɪʃn/China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA)n.中国国家知识产权局/ˈtʃaɪnə ˈnæʃnəl ˌɪntəˈlektʃuəl ˈprɒpəti ədˌmɪnɪˈstreɪʃn/

In this episode, part of our brand new Emerging Market Innovation Series, we sat down with Soumitra Dutta, Dean of the Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford. He's an expert on global innovation and the author of the Global Innovation Index, which is used by governments and institutions worldwide to shape innovation policy.  We're also joined by a friend of the pod, Hafidzi Razali who's the Founder and CEO of Strategic Counsel, who's an expert on policy-making in South-east Asia and beyond. Innovation is often seen as the driving force behind economic growth, but how can emerging markets build successful innovation ecosystems? We explore the key ingredients required to foster innovation at a national level. Soumitra Dutta has worked at the intersection of academia, business, and policy, serving as the Dean of leading business schools and advising governments on how to create innovation-driven economies. He shares key insights on how emerging markets can learn from global success stories and adapt them to their own unique environments. We dive deep into: • Defining Innovation: How innovation differs from invention and why successful market adoption is key. • National Innovation Strategies: Why political leadership plays a crucial role in fostering innovation. • The Role of Governments: How government policies, procurement, and infrastructure investments can catalyze innovation. • Emerging Market Leadership: Lessons from countries like Singapore, China, and Finland on transforming national economies. • The Role of Talent: Why attracting, developing, and retaining skilled professionals is critical for sustainable innovation. • Measuring Innovation: A breakdown of the Global Innovation Index and how emerging markets can climb the rankings. • Collaboration vs. Competition: Why innovation thrives in open, knowledge-sharing ecosystems. Key Takeaways from the Episode: 1. Innovation Requires Strong Leadership: Countries that successfully foster innovation have strong political leadership that prioritizes R&D, education, and infrastructure. 2. Government as an Enabler: From providing financial incentives to setting up digital infrastructure, how governments can play a key role in ensuring businesses and entrepreneurs can innovate effectively. 3. Why Emerging Markets Need a Unique Strategy: Instead of mimicking Silicon Valley, emerging markets must leverage their strengths, such as market-driven innovations and regulatory flexibility. 4. The Importance of Talent & Immigration: Nations that attract and retain top talent consistently outperform others in innovation. Policies that make it easier for skilled professionals to relocate can accelerate growth. 5. Learning from China & Singapore: China's strategic long-term investment in innovation and Singapore's structured approach to attracting businesses provide models that other emerging markets can adapt. 6. Infrastructure as a Foundation: A strong innovation ecosystem needs reliable digital and physical infrastructure, including roads, internet connectivity, and financial systems. 7. The Power of KPIs and Measurement: Innovation must be measured effectively—governments should not just aim to climb rankings but use metrics to improve their weakest links. 8.

Ireland's Research, Development & Innovation (RDI) sector continues to drive growth and employment, but without easier access to funding it risks dependence on foreign technology and diminishing competitiveness, new research surveying almost 500 companies in Ireland has found. The research found that 77% (-3% vs. 2023) of businesses plan to increase RDI spending in response to challenges like AI and talent shortages, with the recent R&D tax credit increase to 30% continuing to drive growth. 60% (+12% vs. 2023) of businesses cited a lack of funding as the primary barrier to increasing innovation, while 41% (+2% vs. 2023) of businesses identified the time-consuming nature of grant administration as a significant obstacle to RDI activities. The Innovation Index, conducted annually by the Industry Research and Development Group (IRDG) and KPMG, captures the attitudes of domestic to large multinationals companies on the issue of RDI in Ireland. The research found that 54% of companies employ between 1 and 10 people directly involved in RDI activities, 26% have 11-50 employees engaged, while 18% employ 51 or more. Barriers to Growth The Index, now in its second year, examines how Ireland compares to other countries in RDI and what improvements can be made to maintain and enhance the country's performance. Ireland ranks 22nd on the Global Innovation Index, behind leading countries like Switzerland (1st), Sweden (2nd), the United States (3rd), the United Kingdom (4th), and the Netherlands (5th). Despite a lower government R&D budget, Ireland leads Europe in private sector R&D investment at 80%. RDI is a key driver of economic growth and is fundamental to tackling complex economic and social challenges including climate change, digitalisation, and public health. The Index cites that to achieve the Government's "Impact 2030" goal of doubling business expenditure on RDI by 2030, funding availability will need to increase. To maintain and enhance its competitive edge, Ireland must prioritise streamlining RDI support processes, a need highlighted by 40% of businesses surveyed in the research. The main factors Ireland needs to look at to remain competitive in the evolving international landscape are; simplifying the claims process/reducing admin work (40% up from 29% in 2023), increasing funding amounts/expanding eligibility criteria (32%), and improving access for SMEs (9%). The Index surveyed 496 companies, split between Irish owned (62%), US owned subsidiary (17%), foreign but not US owned subsidiary (12%), University / Hospital spin - out (4%) and others (5%). The number of survey respondents increased by almost 100 compared to last year. Benchmarking Ireland's RDI The administrative burden is especially an issue for Irish companies, where 58% cited it as a difficulty in claiming RDI tax credits, compared to 31% of multinational companies. Without significant investment in sustainability research and innovation, Ireland risks dependence on foreign technology, diminishing competitiveness, according to the research, which found that 78% of respondents believe a higher R&D tax credit rate would boost investment in green technologies. 51% of multinational corporations feel that Ireland's RDI grants and R&D tax credit support compare equally or favourably to other countries. 13% feel that the Irish system compares negatively and 36% aren't sure. It was also noted that half of multinational corporations responded that 10% or less of their R&D would take place in Ireland without the R&D Tax Credit. 83% of the multinational respondents indicated that 50% or less of their R&D would be carried out in Ireland without the presence of the R&D tax credit. Commenting on the findings, Dermot Casey, CEO of IRDG said: "The Innovation Index highlights the crucial role of Research, Development, and Innovation (RDI) in shaping Ireland's economic future. We must choose to create our own future, not rent someone else's. By addressing the identified funding...

Tinder har patentert “Swipe left”, Amazon eier “one-click checkout”, og sentralt i Apples strategi for Vision Pro står patentene, som beskytter produktene som de skal lansere om 5–10 år?Alle som er proffe på design og teknologi beskytter sine immaterielle rettigheter. Men hva det, og hvordan sikrer man seg? Slikt er vi ikke verdensledende på i Norge — dessverre. Faktisk er vi helt nede på 19. plass i Global Innovation Index, mens Sverige er på 2. plass!Så, her trengs det et kompetanseløft. For å gi oss en innføring inviterte vi Andreas Sætre Hanssen fra Zipip. Han er advokat og spesialist på immaterielle rettigheter med en LLM fra Cardozo i New York, og MIPLM fra CEIPI i Strasbourg.Andreas tar oss kjapt gjennom forskjellene mellom varemerke, patent, designrettighet og åndsverk, og forklarer hvordan du går frem for å beskytte ideene du har jobbet frem. Hva bruker du en NDA (non-disclosure agreement / konfidensialitetsavtale) til, og hvem kan du egentlig fortelle om ideene dine til?Podkasten er ledet av Ann-Kristin Hansen, daglig leder i Kvesst, og Fredrik Matheson, Head of Design i det nordiske fornybarkonsernet Aneo, og leder IxDA Oslo.Knepp produseres av IxDA Oslo i samarbeid med Kampanje.Denne episoden er sponset av Yggdrasilkonferansen.🔸 Lytt og abonner på Knepp i Spotify →https://open.spotify.com/show/6gtBZTh8ummtqYTK5k7Q0O🔸 Lytt og abonner på Knepp i Apple →https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/knepp/id1674141932

The Madani Economy Framework sets the lofty ambition of catapulting Malaysia into the world's top 30 economies with a consistent 5.5% annual GDP growth in 10 years. Additionally, the government aims to break into the top 30 countries in the Global Innovation Index by 2025, as well as achieve high-tech nation status by 2030. How integrated are science and technology policies in achieving these outcomes? We discuss this with Chang Lih Kang, the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation.

Un informe llamado Global Innovation Index, y en el que se miden con las mismas variables la capacidad de innovación de +160 países, Chile había estado entre los top 50 del mundo y el número 1 de Latam, superando a Brasil, México, Argentina… a todos. Pero tras 8 años de liderazgo, pum! Brasil nos supera y México viene pisándonos los talones. Pero no lo miremos como una competencia sino como la vida misma: ¿Acaso no es mejor mostrar un progreso constante como ocurre con más de 30 países en esta medición que liderar la primera etapa para luego empezar a decaer? Esta editorial profundiza mucho más allá del "financiamiento", un tema relevante para quienes defienden una innovación elitista, para los que se mueven en una mirada privada y ambiciosa de la innovación, lo cual no tiene nada de malo pero beneficia a un puñado de personas. Acá lo que se aborda es cultural, la brecha es de conocimiento y los dolores tienen que ver con una actitud que se preocupa más en los resultados a corto plazo que en el largo plazo. Mientras la innovación no sea el tema del almuerzo, del paseo del fin de semana, del encuentro en la plaza y del recreo escolar, no importa cuánto dinero levantemos, seguiremos avanzando al liderazgo de los países que más oportunidades han desaprovechado para salir del tercermundismo.

Entrepreneurship and innovation are the keys to economic growth and higher standards of living. The USA has long enjoyed leadership status on these dimensions — people see the USA as the land of entrepreneurs and the source of new ideas and advances in business. Is the reputation still deserved? Or is it being eclipsed as part of the general decline in standards and capabilities that we observe? Lipton Matthews is a global economic and geo-political analyst who brings deep knowledge and expertise to address our concerns. Knowledge Capsule Borrowing a framework from the Global Innovation Index published by the World Intellectual Property Organization, we can examine the state of entrepreneurship and innovation in the US relative to both other countries and its own history, under the headings of institutions, human capital and research, infrastructure, market sophistication and business sophistication. Institutions: The private sector institutions of the USA continue to excel for entrepreneurship and innovation. When we think of American institutions for the encouragement of entrepreneurship and innovation, we must examine private sector institutions, not those of government. Ordinary people in civil society build the institutions that promote innovation. Private scientific research is robust in responding to market signals of consumer and business needs. Financial institutions such as venture capital and angel investors support innovative development. Policymakers mistakenly believe they can conjure up a creative economy by fiat, but they're wrong. It's private institutions that support and cultivate innovation. Even if the public sector tries to encroach, the private sector maintains its innovative edge. Professor Sam Gregg warned us recently that the United States of today more closely resembles a European social democracy than many Americans are willing to admit, but Lipton Matthews is confident that America is still winning the entrepreneurship contests because the forces of democratic socialism can't overpower the higher-energy force of the private sector drive for creative innovation in return for market reward. Human capital and research: The ability to execute overcomes any shortcomings in education. If we look through the declinist lens, it's easy to become gravely concerned about the state of education at all levels in the US, which directly impacts the development and deployment of what economists refer to as human capital. Do we under-allocate resources to teaching schoolkids business and entrepreneurship skills and tools, and at the college level, do we turn out too many English and philosophy grads compared to market needs, and not enough engineers and STEM grads? Lipton Matthews cautions us against worrying about the wrong things. The educational qualifications of the products of American schools and universities matters less than their executional and implementational capabilities. America is a nation of do-ers, and that type of expertise is embedded and innate, from the time of the founding fathers and early immigrants who built the America economy. We prize innovators more than inventors — the ones who successfully turn ideas into marketable products and services. Entrepreneurship is action, and American business capitalizes the talent for execution, combining scientific learning with creative action to generate innovation. Executional capacity comes more from a market orientation than from formal learning. A concern about the research component of the Global Innovation Index's “human capital and research” classification is, perhaps, more justified. Government-directed research dominates formal research budgets — directed to fields such as climate change — for universities in the US, and the historical evidence is clear that this pool of research is inappropriate for the support of entrepreneurship, despite European aspirations to an entrepreneurial state. Brilliant scholars and researchers who could be entrepreneurs and innovators are diverted into unproductive activities. It's difficult to quantify private sector R&D; we must hope that it is sufficient to counter-balance the state's diversion of research funds. In fact, Lipton Matthews points out, we must expect the state and innovators to be in competition. The former prefers control and stability versus the latter's pursuit of disruption and change. Infrastructure: Think local and regional, not national. We are frequently presented with stories about the crumbling of US infrastructure. That's the wrong level of focus, according to Lipton Matthews. First we should compare US infrastructure to other countries, where the quality of engineers and engineering may be lower, and so roads, bridges and communications networks are inherently superior in the US. Second, we should focus on infrastructure in our localities and regions. Local communities can manage infrastructure well in support of local businesses. Some towns and cities will have better-managed and better-maintained infrastructure than other parts of their state, and businesses will be attracted there. Market sophistication: capital flowing to best entrepreneurial uses. Lipton Matthews interprets the Global Innovation Index's category of market sophistication to refer to the financing of startups, scale-ups and innovative entrepreneurial businesses. American deployment of venture capital and the widespread networked access to investment funds are examples of market sophistication in practice. Ordinary people can invest in startups and innovation, and entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey can arrange access to investors. While these investment funding networks may not be perfect, and while we may encounter some challenges in moving capital to the bottom of the pyramid, nevertheless, the private financial sector in the US is effective in directing funds towards innovation. While there may be some erosion of purpose, from long term funding of innovation to making money via short term trading in-and-out of markets, this does not detract from America's lead in market sophistication. Business sophistication: The ability of business to absorb new knowledge and use it to innovate. Bart Madden called knowledge-building proficiency the central differentiating function of the successful firm. Our businesses are learning machines, continuously generating new knowledge via R&D, marketplace experiments, interactions with customers and feedback from all business activities. While it's possible that Americans might be eclipsed by some other countries in the race to produce patents, this is not a relevant measure. Marketplace innovation is the test of business sophistication, not patent registration. Knowledge accumulation must be accompanied by knowledge application. America's entrepreneurial nation of doers not only engages in eternal learning but in the adaptive entrepreneurial method of act-learn-improve. The rest of the world has not fully caught up. Summary In Lipton's eyes, America was oriented for entrepreneurial success by the founding fathers and early immigrants, and will continue to innovate and grow as a result of entrepreneurship. Only if we get in our own way through excessive statism, regulation and government intervention that misdirects our energy and resources will we break the well-established historical track record.

Entrepreneurship and innovation are the keys to economic growth and higher standards of living. The USA has long enjoyed leadership status on these dimensions — people see the USA as the land of entrepreneurs and the source of new ideas and advances in business.

I get political today. But first, I discuss jobs. How far will home prices fall? Innovation creates jobs. It does not destroy jobs. American innovation is one reason that we added over a half million new jobs just last month. All this new job growth and a robust GDP reading will keep us out of a recession for the next few months, maybe much longer. Both the US median home price (Case-Shiller) and inflation peaked last June.  The US median home price fell 2.5% from its peak.  Where are they falling? Where are the rising? We explore experts' outlook for home prices. Five expert opinions all range from 2023 home prices rising 5% to falling 4%. Volatile, coastal markets are correcting down a little. Many stable markets in the Midwest and South are stable or rising a little. Beware of those that say, “It's never been a better time to buy real estate.” That's wrong. 2012 was better. 2021 was the worst time to buy real estate recently. Even these past few years, and today, it's hard to find a better place to put your investment dollar than carefully-bought income property. This won't last long. At GREmarketplace.com now, providers are often giving buyers 2% of the purchase price as cash at the closing table and free Property Management for two years.

From ANNapolis, MD to Santa ANA, CA and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm Keith Weinhold, Forbes REC member and founder of this very platform here… and this is Episode 436 of the Get Rich Education audio podcast.   If you'd like to watch me on video, check out the Get Rich Education YouTube Channel.   But our audio show, right here, is our most popular platform.    Is the world trying to tell me that my voice is better than my face, then? That's what I'm starting to think. Ha!   ARE American home prices are falling. How bad is it? When did it start? And when will it stop? I'm going to answer all of that in just a bit.    Last week, I mentioned that a strong GDP report has told so many permabears and gloomer-and-doomers that they were wrong about being in a recession by now.   And gosh… the latest Jobs Report came in after that and it just added insult to injury for all these permabears - meaning those that are permanently bearish - permanently making dire predictions about the economy & housing.    And, even if you're listening to this show years from now, this is how you know that a recession is NOT at all imminent.   The whopping 517,000 new jobs added last month nearly tripled expectations.    Still... I wonder if constant rumors about a coming recession will drag on longer than the fake meat fad.   These recession rumors keep getting stirred up.   Now, when it comes to jobs. You care about that a lot as a REI. You need your tenant to have a job in order to pay you the rent.   The number of American jobs saw their recent low in 2020. In fact, they fell into a deep trough - a BIG dip back then.   That was the pandemic shutdown. People had to stay home. The government paid workers to stay home. Maybe you were paid to say home then - about three years ago.   Well, that means that a lot of goods weren't being produced in 2020. Many services weren't being produced either.   Well, when MORE stimulus-fueled dollars began chasing FEWER goods, that's exactly what began stoking the inflation fire for the next few years, right up to & including now.   That's where the monetary inflation came from.   That's why I've regularly been paying $8 for a bottle of good quality salad dressing.   Aren't you doing some of these things?   Yeah! Hey, what's wrong with you? In today's polite society, you aren't adding a 25% tip for your $6 bottle water?    No, I hope you're not. I'm not doing THAT yet. Ha!   Well, that was when jobs cratered, in 2020. By today, with all of these American jobs roaring back, total jobs are now 2.7 million above pre-pandemic levels. There's now just a 3.4% unemployment rate.   That is just really hard for the doom-and-gloomers to deal with.    That's the GOOD news.    Though more jobs are good news, it's not all good.     The bad news here is that strong employment means more inflationary pressure.    To that point, Jerome Powell recently said that Americans should expect a couple more interest rate hikes to keep combating inflation.   Not everything is all good in the good ol' USA. I mentioned some of the economy's other problems last week.   But what's the reason for all this job creation? Why is this happening in America?    In a word, it is American innovation.   Innovation creates jobs.   Now, there might have been one point in your life when you thought that innovation DESTROYS jobs - like, for example, with the fact that today's bank tellers and grocery store cashiers are disappearing.    Innovation does not destroy jobs. Innovation creates jobs. We'll like at why shortly.    But first, the Global Innovation Index was released and it shows that America is the 2nd-most innovative nation in the entire world.   Yep, of 193 UN-recognized world nations, the US is only second to Switzerland.   People have falsely believed that innovation destroys jobs since before the tractor replaced horses and mules.    Yep, last century, one new tractor replaced five horses or five mules and that meant that it soon took fewer farmers to feed the animals, because fewer animals were needed.   For the ultimate result & outcome, look no further than where you are today. We are more technologically advanced than at any time in human history.   The result is that we have 11 million more jobs than available workers. It's kind of the opposite of unemployment.   Innovation is what got us here.   Twenty years ago, no one could have foreseen ALL of today's new job opportunities as a: drone operator, quantum machine learning analyst, YouTube creator, a podcaster, social media director, app developer, information security analyst.   New jobs that didn't exist before, like a digital marketer, TikToker, metaverse wearables developer, and on and on.   Well, that right there is evidence that in twenty years, it's hard to foresee what new jobs WILL exist that don't exist today. But they WILL be created.   Even eBay, which some regard as a “digital yard sale” company - though they're more than that. But eBay just announced new hires for Web3 and NFTs—those fields barely existed two years ago.   In a few years, when self-driving cars replace Uber drivers, those driver jobs will simply migrate to better-and-higher uses, just like it did for jobs of a bygone era like telephone switch operators & travel agents & bowling pin boys & and elevator lift attendants.   But people will still fear for the "loss of jobs". Don't fear for a loss of jobs. Fear for a loss in innovation.   American innovation drives all this job growth.   So the fact that we aren't having a recession anytime soon is really frustrating for all the permabears. I wouldn't totally count it out that we could have a mild recession LATER this year. But not soon.   Politics is another sad reason that people create gloom & doom-type of media.   Some people wanted to WISH a recession into existence since last year, especially leading up to last year's mid-term elections because they wanted to sow seeds of fear because they didn't like the political party in power.   People think that if they can just convince enough people that there's a recession, then they can topple the current administration.   Then if that incumbent administration gets toppled and THEIR people are now in power, even if it doesn't change anything in the economy, that same recession-promoter will stop promoting a recession because they got their political wish. It's politically-driven.   I don't do that here. I don't do left-right politics. Instead, I do up-down. Up is integrity. Let's go up.   I first heard that up-down framework from Dr. Chris Martenson - someone I really respect. We had him on the show a couple times here.   How do you do up-down instead of left-right? Follow people that you disagree with on social media for some new perspectives.    Trying watching some YT channels that you don't agree with. Even delete your YT history & start over if that does the trick.   Today's suggested video and social feeds can often keep people in one narrow “think” silo.   So two big reasons that crash bros have been wrong are discounting American innovation and being blinded by politics.   OK. Well... so what? I mean… really… like… who cares?   What if gloomer-and-doomers plow ahead with more fear-mongering headlines like: "giant crash ahead", "total market collapse" or "massive depression coming"?   How does that really hurt anyone?   Like I briefly mentioned last week, it matters because it keeps us living in fear.    Your brain's amygdala is wired to be stimulated by danger, alerting your nervous system.   Has all that dreary material from some other sources talking about crashes and depressions and collapses even made you want to... quit your daydream?   You'll never get that lost time back.   Permabears rarely admit that their dire predictions were wrong. They'll just go on making more intransigent apocalyptic forecasts in order to get clicks.   People have been predicting the end of the world exactly since... the beginning of the world.   Let's bring some balance here. Let's talk about both the bad news and the good news.   If you & I believed all the bad news, a meteor would have plummeted from the sky and struck us both dead by now.   That's why some people with their constantly dire predictions want you to think.    It's the old school media notion of “If it bleeds, it leads.”   Don't believe for one second that I think that America's powers that be are all 100% responsible & looking out for your best interest.    Janet Yellen recently said: “You don't have a recession when you have 500,000 jobs and the lowest unemployment rate in more than 50 years.” Yes, that's what Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said, who, as longtime listeners know, I have called “Grandma Yellen” because she looks like my late Grandma Weinhold.  C'mon - she just looks like a Grandma. Nothing wrong with that - she looks like a sweet ol' grandma. I've definitely disagreed with her in the past. That is, I've disagreed with Yellen, not my Grandma. Ha! But Yellen is right on this one.  And yes, Yellen works for the president. But she's not the only one who's starting to see the possibility of a recession becoming less likely. Economists at Goldman Sachs lowered their estimate on the possibility of a recession in the next year from 35% down to 25%, and that is thanks to the strong labor market. A 25% chance of a recession this year, though some forecast it higher than that. Speaking of the President, I was hoping that one Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. would have talked about housing more in last week's SOTU address that he delivered. In any case, the strong labor market is keeping us out of a recession. And MY take is that job strength is underscored by a legacy of continued American innovation.   But we won't play the Star-Spangled Banner again this week like we did last week… emmm because some of those jobs are part-time jobs.   Coming up straight ahead - some bad real estate news - what about those falling American home prices?   Learn more about GRE and how our mission helps you achieve financial freedom - not debt freedom - but something more important - financial freedom - at our educational website, GetRichEducation.com   Follow Get Rich Education on your favorite social media platforms - Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and YouTube.   On most every social platform, our name is Get Rich Education.

This is GRE.  _________________   Last week, I told you why I don't expect our core markets to see much price movement in the near term.   By our core market, that's residential properties that are lower-middle class up the median in the US Midwest & South - which I call the stable markets - as opposed to the volatile, coastal markets.   As a real estate investor, you may very well care about the state of rent growth and occupancy rates so prices might not be the #1 thing, but they still matter to you.   Well, both US home prices and inflation BOTH peaked in June of last year.   The fact that last June was the peak of US home prices is per the widely-cited Case Shiller National Home Price Index.   And since then, national home prices have corrected back… 2.5%. Yes, down two-and-a-half percent from their price zenith, eight months ago.   Yes, a rare period where home prices have NOT appreciated.   Redfin recently told us that of the 50 most populous cities in the nation, the 10-11 that have fallen the most over the past year (so this is annualized here) - and I'm just rounding to the nearest whole percent here are:   San Francisco - home values are down 10% YOY   Sacramento, California: down 6% San Jose, California: down 6% Los Angeles, California: -5% Oakland, California: -4% Seattle, Washington: -4% Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: -4%. I'm a little surprised at Pittsburgh. I just visited Pittsburgh a few months back and I don't know why they're down 4%. I might research this. Austin, Texas: down 3%. Not a coastal market, but a market that overheated in the pandemic runup. New York City -3%. Phoenix, Arizona: -2% Let's get an 11th city in there with Boston, Massachusetts: -2% Alright, so, it's chiefly volatile coastal markets that have experienced the price correction to this point. Most of those are mild. The only one down more than 6% is SF at 10%. But how far do they fall… in those high-priced, volatile, mostly coastal markets. And, hey. You can go back to this show from its beginnings in 2014 and 2015 and this is why I told you that we avoid the high-priced, volatile markets here - most of them coastal. They don't cash flow.  Their values aren't stable, and their LL-Tenant laws don't favor REIs at all. This is just what I've been talking about for over 8 years now - all on record - right here on this show. Alright, well that's backward-looking. For some forward guidance, I told you about MY price forecast last week.    Here's what some OTHER influential figures have to say about the future direction of the national median home price for this year:   CoreLogic expects a 2.8% increase.   Deputy Chief Economist at Redfin, Taylor Marr is forecasting a 4% drop in the median home price compared to 2022.    Chief Economist at Zillow, Skylar Olsen expects a more modest 0.5% decline.    NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun thinks prices will stay even, with no appreciable gain or loss.   And finally, Danielle Hale, Chief Economist at Realtor.com expects a 5% INcrease in home prices.    So, right there, with that panel of five economists, there's a national HPA expected range for this year of -4% to +5%.   Now, I talked about the worst appreciating major markets & the national numbers.   How about the big-city real estate markets that have continued to appreciate & expect to continue to this year?   The Top 10 are just about all in the eastern half of the United States, expected to appreciate anywhere from 2% to 8%. In no particular order, they are:   Charlotte Cleveland Tampa Dallas Nashville Jacksonville Kansas City Miami Atlanta Philadelphia Though mortgage rates have hit a five month low, now near 6%, you know, I think that MORTGAGE RATE direction is more difficult to forecast than home prices are.   But I'll tell you, at this point, I will advise you that mortgage rates have more upward pressure on them than downward pressure since there's high job growth.   High job growth can keep inflation buoyant so that makes the Fed want to keep hiking rates.   So, in summary. Home prices expect to stay stable or perhaps rise just a touch in many stable Midwest & South markets, and they probably have further to fall in high-priced markets, many of which are coastal markets.   Jacksonville, FL is one notable exception. That is one major coastal market that usually behaves like a stable market and has good cash flow.    Jacksonville is one coastal place that I like for investors.   Real estate has been more attractive to buyers this year, compared to last year as evidenced by the increase in purchase applications.   But for anyone that says that it's never been a better time to buy real estate. I don't believe that for a moment.   NEVER been a better time?   2012 was a pretty awesome time to buy real estate. That was about when prices hit some sweet lows. But those prices are never coming back.   I'll tell ya, when do I think was the WORST time to buy real estate in the recent past? It was 2021. That's when the housing inventory was so low and everyone was competing for houses and you had to drop so many contingencies that sometimes you had to feel like you better waive your home inspection (which is not something that I recommend). 2021 is when you often had to pay all-cash to compete against a horde of bidders. That's bad. That means you've got no leverage. And 2021 is when you often had to offer over asking price. 2021 had choppy seas for buyers. But it was a good year for sellers. And you know, even in 2021, with it's challenges, you would be hard-pressed to find a better investment than real estate when it's carefully-bought income property.  That's still where you would have a strong risk-adjusted return, buying in the stable, cash-flowing markets where we do. We're talking about “Real Estate Pays 5 Ways” type of properties - yeah. A San Francisco row house in 2021 that you had to pay all-cash & $100K over offer price for? No, not a good strict financial investment. But today's market - now you've got more inventory and you have these incentives that more & more income property providers are offering you like I mentioned last week. I want to mention them again because they are so special, they don't often exist in the marketplace.   There are three ways you can save thousands of dollars in today's real estate market.   These three incentives - you can't get them from every provider at GRE Marketplace. But this is now common. Ask about them.   1 - Many sellers are crediting buyers like you 2% of the purchase price at the closing table. You can use this to buy down your interest rate if you want to.    So on a $250K income property purchase, that's $5,000 cash to you at the closing table.   I don't know how long this incentive will last. Because though mortgage rates have fallen a full 1% from their peak, you're still getting cash at the closing table to buy your rate down.    The second incentive is free property management for up to 2 years.   If you don't have to pay a PM fee, that can increase your cash flow by about $150 each month - or more - on every one of your properties.   I don't know how long that one will last.   3 - Rent guarantee. This means that if your property is vacant, the seller pays rent to you until the property is occupied.   That third one - the rent guarantee is the only one that I would expect will last long-term.   On your next income property purchase at GRE Marketplace, be sure to ask about these incentives.   If you're listening to this episode in the distant future, they're probably not going to be there anymore… then just, take this as a point of historical context.   Understand that GRE Marketplace is not like a big box store. It's more like an organic farmer's market where we help match you with experienced property providers.   And much like an organic farmer's market, check back regularly for new offerings. It's a vibrant market. And you see all those markets in the Midwest & South there. Check back every few weeks.   To help you out, we actually video-interview the PMs in most markets on that page.   Yes, with today's incentives, your PM could be like your unpaid servant for two years - ha! We interview them right there on Marketplace to give you a good feel for them.   Wealthy people's money either starts out in RE - or ends up in RE. And I really wish that a resource like GRE Marketplace existed when I began investing in RE. I had to figure out so much by myself then.   It is still free. There is still zero subscription fee. GREmarketplace.com is still a completely free service to you. Create one login and get access to all providers at GREmarketplace.com.   Next week, a show unlike any we've ever had before. I'm Keith Weinhold. DQYD!

英语新闻｜跨国公司关注中国机遇，扩大中国业务Despite rising external uncertainties, multinational companies remain committed to China as they plan to expand their local footprint and investment, and are impressed by the nation's latest commitment to high-standard opening-up and high-quality economic development, global business leaders said.国际商界领袖表示，尽管外部不确定性上升，但跨国公司仍致力于在中国扩大业务和投资，并对中国致力于高水平开放和高质量经济发展的最新承诺印象深刻。In a report that Xi Jinping delivered at the opening session of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on Sunday, he stressed the need to promote high-standard opening-up and accelerate efforts to foster a new pattern of development.10月16日，习近平在中国共产党第二十次全国代表大会开幕会上的报告强调，要坚持高水平对外开放，加快构建新发展格局。Seeing big opportunities in areas such as carbon neutrality, advanced manufacturing and innovation-driven development, foreign companies increasingly value China's multiple roles as a vast market, a crucial part of global supply chains and a pioneering research and development hub, senior executives said in a series of interviews with China Daily.在接受《中国日报》一系列采访时，高管们表示，外国公司看到了中国碳中和、先进制造和创新驱动发展等领域的巨大机遇，因此越来越重视中国的多重角色，中国不仅是广阔的市场，是全球供应链的重要组成部分，也是一个开创性的研发中心。Tao Lin, vice-president of US electric carmaker Tesla, said the report highlighted that further advancing opening-up is a key feature of the new era, and as a beneficiary of such efforts, the company is convinced that "it will create more value in this vigorous and dynamic land".美国电动汽车制造商特斯拉的副总裁陶琳表示，二十大报告强调，进一步扩大开放是新时代的重要特征。作为中国开放的受益者，特斯拉相信“它将在这片充满生机活力的土地上创造更多价值”。"Thanks to the Chinese government's decision to scrap limits on foreign ownership of electric vehicle companies, Tesla became the first wholly foreign-owned vehicle manufacturer in the country," Tao said.陶琳说：“由于中国政府决定取消电动汽车公司外资股比限制，特斯拉成为了中国首家外资独资车企。”"Now, Tesla is even more deeply engaged in China's promising domestic market."“如今，特斯拉更深入地参与到中国蓬勃发展的国内市场中。”In addition, over 95 percent of Tesla China's industrial chain is now localized, which serves as a bond for Tesla to forge a better future together with local new energy vehicle brands and demonstrates the great strength of "Made in China" to the rest of the world, Tao added.此外，陶琳补充道，超过95%的产业链本土化率成为特斯拉与中国新能源汽车共同进步的纽带，向世界其他国家展示了“中国制造”的强大实力。Hou Yang, chairman and CEO of Microsoft Greater China, said that due to China's increased opening-up and its economic vitality, foreign companies have more opportunities to invest in the nation, and the Chinese market has become increasingly appealing.微软大中华区董事长兼首席执行官侯阳表示，由于中国对外开放程度和经济活力不断提升，外国公司有更多机会在中国投资，中国市场也越来越有吸引力。"China's ever-improving economic foundations and technological innovation capabilities have enabled it to demonstrate its strong resilience and flexibility in the face of risks," Hou said, adding that the company will increase its local workforce to over 10,000 next year by adding about 1,000 new jobs.“中国不断做强的经济基础和科技创新能力，使其在风险面前表现出强大的韧性和灵活性，”侯阳补充说，公司明年将增加约1000个新岗位，本地员工数量将增至1万多人。Such sentiment is in line with recent figures pointing to the strong momentum of foreign direct investment in China. FDI in the Chinese mainland, in terms of actual use, grew 16.4 percent year-on-year to 892.7 billion yuan ($123.5 billion) in the first eight months of this year, according to the Ministry of Commerce.这种观点与近期的数据一致，中国吸引外国直接投资的势头强劲。商务部9月19日发布的数据显示，今年1至8月，全国实际使用外资金额8927.4亿元人民币，同比增长16.4%。Wu Dongming, CEO of DHL Express China, said that amid challenges and pressures, China's economic stability is the biggest contribution to the world economy and global supply chains.DHL快递中国区（即中外运-敦豪国际航空快件有限公司）首席执行官吴东明表示表示，在挑战和压力之下，中国经济的稳定是对世界经济和全球供应链的最大贡献。"Looking forward, China's focus on sustainable development will greatly benefit international trade," Wu said, adding that the company tested its first pilot hydrogen fuel cell truck in Shanghai last month, as part of the German logistics firm's broader push to experiment with the latest green technology and boost investment in the country.“展望未来，中国为可持续发展所做的努力将大大有利于国际贸易，”吴东明补充说，DHL快递上个月在上海测试了其首辆氢燃料电池货运卡车，这是这家德国物流公司为试验最新的绿色技术，并增加在中国的投资所做的努力之一。China's high-quality development agenda and its growing innovation prowess are also boosting business leaders' confidence, as these promise big potential for future growth.中国的高质量发展征程及其不断增强的创新能力也提升了商界领袖的信心，因为这些都预示着巨大的增长潜力。China has moved up to 11th place in the 2022 Global Innovation Index from 34th a decade ago, and remains the only middle-income economy in the top 30, according to the latest ranking published by the World Intellectual Property Organization in late September.世界知识产权组织9月下旬发布的最新排名显示，中国在全球创新指数中的排名由2012年的第34位上升到2022年的第11位，仍然是前30名中唯一一个中等收入经济体。Wang Lei, global executive vice-president of British pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca, said he was encouraged by the report's emphasis that innovation will remain at the heart of China's modernization drive.英国制药公司阿斯利康全球执行副总裁王磊表示，二十大报告强调，创新仍将是中国现代化建设的核心，这令人感到鼓舞。"China's innovation-driven development strategy will create more opportunities for us, as the country has become a very important part of our global innovation as well as our R&D network," Wang said.“中国的创新驱动发展战略将为我们创造更多机会，中国已经成为我们全球创新和研发网络的重要组成部分，”王磊说。Looking ahead, experts forecast that China's growth engines could be revving up as it heads into 2023, which will motivate more foreign businesses to increase their investment in the nation.展望未来，专家预测，在迈入2023年的过程中，中国的增长引擎可能正快速运转，这将促使更多的外国企业增加对华投资。Christine Lam, CEO of Citi China, said as the nation's economy charts its own path despite global economic uncertainties, China "will provide global investors with a hedge in an increasingly uncertain world and, given its sheer scale, a cushion for global growth".花旗中国首席执行官林钰华表示，尽管全球经济存在不确定性，但中国经济仍走在自己的道路上，中国“在日益不确定的世界中将为全球投资者提供一个对冲。考虑其经济规模，中国将为全球增长提供缓冲”。Lam said the company's multinational clients invested $100 billion "in China, for China" to innovate and manufacture locally in the 24 months ending last December.林钰华说，截至去年年底的24个月内，花旗的跨国客户在中国投资了1000亿美元，用于中国本土的创新和制造。"This expansion will likely continue as China opens up further and provides a level playing field for those committed to serving this market," she added.“随着中国进一步开放，并为那些致力于服务中国市场的企业提供一个公平的竞争环境，花旗可能会继续壮大中国业务。”林钰华补充道。scrap英[skræp]美[skræp]v.放弃，抛弃prowess英[ˈpraʊəs] 美[ˈpraʊəs]n.英勇，超凡技术rev英[rev]美[rev]v.使加速，增加

Over the last five years, the Indian government has been focusing on increasing the number of patents that are being filed in the country. And now, we can see the results -- the Economic Survey 2021-22 showed that the filing of intellectual property patents in India has increased 30 per cent in the last five years and the number of patents granted in the period almost tripled.This increase in patent filing has helped India's ranking in the Global Innovation Index -- it has risen from 81 in 2015-16 to 46 in 2021. But, given the large population and the sheer size of our country, are we living up to our potential? What are some of the areas we need to work upon? On the occasion of World IP Day, we speak to Patrick Kilbride of the US Chamber of Commerce Global Innovation Policy Centre and Swetha Singh, CEO, EnnobleIP and patent law expert.

Australia is great at research but struggles to capture its commercial benefits. The World Intellectual Property Organization's 2020 Global Innovation Index ranks us 13th for innovation inputs, but 31st for innovation outputs. Bridging this gap is a growing focus for the government, as part of its ambition to make Australia a “leading digital economy by 2030”. So what's holding us back? And how can we use Australian research to not only drive the economy but also tackle social and environmental challenges? For insight on these questions, CEDA CEO Melinda Cilento spoke with CSIRO Chief Executive Dr Larry Marshall and Microsoft Australia Managing Director Steven Worrall. But first, Melinda is joined by CEDA Chief Economist Jarrod Ball to discuss some of the issues we're thinking about at CEDA this week.

Futurist Trond Arne Undheim interviews Professor Soumitra Dutta, Cornell University, co-author of Global Innovation Index, published by the World Intellectual Property Foundation.In this conversation, they talk about measuring innovation, the challenges of developing governance at the country level, across the globe, and how to improve innovation input and output.The takeaway is that the future of innovation measurement will continue to evolve with the metrics that become available, but could also deteriorate if we are not careful to maintain statistical data and overview through national and international monitoring. In 2020’s Index, Switzerland comes out in top with China, Vietnam and the United Republic of Tanzania topping their comparable income groups. There are exciting developments in Sub-Saharan Africa as several countries there continue to push forward.After listening to the episode, check out the most recent Global Innovation Index as well as Soumitra's social media profile:Soumitra Dutta (@soumitradutta) https://www.linkedin.com/in/soumitra-dutta/ Professor Soumitra Dutta, Cornell U https://www.johnson.cornell.edu/faculty-research/faculty/sd599/Global Innovation Index 2020 https://www.wipo.int/global_innovation_index/en/2020/ The show is hosted by Podbean and can be found at Futurized.co.

2017-07-03 Special EnglishThis is Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing. Here is the news.Chinese scientists have announced that they have realized the real-time transmission of deep-sea data for more than 190 straight days, setting a new world record.During an expedition to the west Pacific at the end of last year, researchers with the Institute of Oceanology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences realized the real-time transmission of deep-sea data after improving the subsurface buoy observation network.They put a floating body on the sea, which was connected to a submersible buoy. The submersible buoy transmits data to the floating body, which then sends it to a satellite. Researchers then receive the data through the satellite.The real-time deep-sea data includes the condition of the subsurface buoy, the flow speed, direction and pressure of seawater.Real-time transmission of deep-sea data provides important technical support for research on the ocean environment and global climate. The data could enhance the precision in ocean climate and environment forecasts.The previous world record for the real-time transmission of deep water data was around 90 days.This is Special English.China's supercomputers remain the world's fastest and second fastest machines, but America's Titan was squeezed into fourth place by an upgraded Swiss system.The latest edition of the semiannual T0P500 list of supercomputers was released recently. China's supercomputer Sunway TaihuLight has been described by the T0P500 list as "far and away the most powerful number-cruncher on the planet. It maintained the lead since last June, when it dethroned Tianhe-2, the former champion for the previous three consecutive years.This means that a Chinese supercomputer has topped the rankings maintained by researchers in the United States and Germany nine times in a row.What's more, the Sunway TaihuLight was built entirely using processors designed and produced in China.Officials say it highlights China's ability to conduct independent research in the supercomputing field. In the latest rankings, the new number three supercomputer is the upgraded Piz Daint, a system installed at the Swiss National Supercomputing Center.Its current performance pushed Titan, a machine installed at the U.S. Oak Ridge National Laboratory, into fourth place. Titan's performance of 17.6 petaflops has remained constant since it was installed in 2012.You're listening to Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing.The European Union has reaffirmed its support for Paris agreement on climate change when its Foreign Affairs Council convened in Luxembourg.The Council said in a statement that the Paris Agreement is fit for purpose and cannot be renegotiated.U.S. President Donald Trump said on June 1 that he has decided to pull the United States out of the Paris Agreement, a landmark global pact to fight climate change.The Council said it deeply regretted the unilateral decision by the United States administration to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, while it welcomed the statements of commitment to the Agreement from other countries.The Council said the EU will lead in the global fight against climate change through its climate policies and through continued support to those which are particularly vulnerable.Besides this, the EU is strengthening its existing global partnerships and will continue to seek new alliances, from the world's largest economies to the most vulnerable island states.The Paris Agreement was agreed on by almost every country in the world in 2015. It aims to tackle climate change by cutting greenhouse gas emissions and sets a global target of keeping the rise in the average temperature no higher than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.This is Special English.It's possible for the European Union and Britain to strike a fair Brexit deal which is "far better than no deal". EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier told reporters that for both the EU and the UK, a fair deal is possible, and far better than no deal. He made the remarks at a joint press conference with his British counterpart David Davis, after wrapping up the opening salvo of the Brexit talks in Brussels.His remarks obviously alluded to British Prime Minister Theresa May's catchphrase "no deal is better than a bad deal".Barnier said the first session was "important, open and useful indeed to start off on the right foot as the clock is ticking".He outlined a two-step negotiation, saying they agreed on dates, organization, and priorities for the negotiation.You're listening to Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing.China is achieving landmarks in science and technology at breakneck speed.The country's Tianzhou-1 cargo spacecraft completed its second docking with the Tiangong-2 space lab recently. Chinese scientists have announced that they have realized the satellite-based distribution of entangled photon pairs over a record distance of more than 1,200 kilometers, a major breakthrough that could be used to deliver secure messages. China has successfully launched its first X-ray space telescope to study black holes, pulsars and gamma-ray bursts, receiving its first package of data.Officials say such a string of achievements shows China's innovation-driven development strategy is paying off.The latest Global Innovation Index showed that China rose three spots to 22nd place on the list of the world's most innovative nations this year, becoming the only middle-income country to join the top 25 innovative economies.However, China stepping closer to becoming an innovative power has aroused skepticism, with some arguing that its progress poses a threat to other countries.Chinese observers refuted the claim, saying China's science and technology innovation has injected fresh energy to the world's sluggish economy and brought a new opportunity to global industrial restructuring and sustainable development.This is Special English.Chinese bicycle-sharing giant Mobike says it has 100 million users worldwide.Mobike started its business in Shanghai in April last year, before expanding into major Chinese cities and branching out abroad.

Every year, the UN’s World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) and partner institutions publish an index that ranks the innovation prowess of some 150 countries around the world. In this audio interview Francis Gurry, WIPO’s director general, explains how the diversity of innovation on the ground in India shows a need to think about improving the Global Innovation Index so it’s a better reflection of reality and better captures innovation in large, diverse economies, including China and the United States. The index needs to take into account activities at the grassroots, and countries’ local circumstances more generally, he said. Gurry’s reflection came as a consequence of attending the Festival of Innovation organised in Delhi by the National Innovation Foundation this month (4-10 March). Hosted by India’s president, the event brought together citizen inventors, students and experts from around the world gathered to discuss the country’s drive for inclusive innovation. Although India has risen 15 places up the Global Innovation Index, and is expected to rise further, it’s still ranked lower than it should, according to Gurry. It performs extremely well in quality of its human resources, the number of science and engineering graduates produced every year, ICT services and creative goods exports. Where he sees need for improvement, however, is on pupil to teacher ratio, and on the ease of starting a business. The interview, recorded in Delhi during the festival, also touches on what the rest of the world can learn from how India’s innovation foundation works to support students and citizen inventors from around the country. http://www.scidev.net/global/innovation/multimedia/india-global-innovation-index-gurry.html

This country tops a lot of lists, including the Global Innovation Index. But, with Australia’s politicians fiddling about with innovation, this countries success happens because there is no policy – as illustrated by Pedro Zwahlen, the Swiss ambassador to Australia.
