I'm just fresh from the Soil Association's Annual Conference where they've been discussing the relevance of social innovation to tackling some of their core challenges. During question time, a little voice pops up at the back and asks whether the sharing economy is relevant to supporting the growth of organic, local food consumption in the UK.
There are quite a few startups attacking the tour guide app space which, as well as packaging the traditional (paper) guidebook into a handy app form, are more generally trying to bridge the connectivity gap that tourists face when they take their phone abroad and don’t want to be burnt by roaming costs (e.g. Triposo or PocketGuide).
Por tercer año consecutivo, el BAC de MONDRAGON organiza una sesión Dreamworks específicamente dedicada a reflexionar sobre las experiencias de emprendimiento que se están desarrollando en el seno de las cooperativas de MONDRAGON.

Entre otras, participarán cooperativas como DanobatGroup, Ulma, Fagor Ederlan, Cikautxo y MONDRAGON Health.
Los objetivos de la tercera edición del Dreamworks serán los siguientes:
A Seattle company called ClearSign Combustion has developed a trick that it says could nearly eliminate key pollutants from power plants and refineries, and make such installations much more efficient. The technique involves electric fields to control the combustion of fuel by manipulating the shape and brightness of flames.
The technology could offer a cheaper way to reduce pollution in poor countries. And because ClearSign’s approach to reducing pollution also reduces the amount of fuel a power plant consumes, it can pay for itself, the company says. The need for better pollution controls is clear now in China, where hazardous pollution has been shutting down schools and roads this week.
A new biotechnology company will take over human trials of two gene therapies that could offer one-time treatments for a form of childhood blindness and hemophilia B.
According to Melonee Wise, the manual laborer of the future has only one arm and stands just three feet, two inches tall. Such are the vital statistics of UBR1, a $35,000 mobile robot unveiled today by Wise’s startup company Unbounded Robotics.
Wise, the company’s CEO and cofounder, says her business will at first sell the robot to researchers in academia and industry, who currently must either pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to get hold of a similar robot or build one themselves. But the UBR1 has also been designed to be capable and safe enough to help out in real workplaces such as warehouses and factories.
Locket, the Android app that pays you (in tiny amounts) just for unlocking your smartphone, is today launching a toolkit for app developers that will allow them to publish their own content to users’ lock screens. That means when users see ads for apps on their phone’s screen, they can open up the app itself with just a swipe, similar to how a push notification works.
