International Workshop on Innovation for Development: Converting Knowledge to Value

OECD Conference Centre - Paris, France

28-30 January 2009

As the focus is on innovation, the realization of the value created is through the introduction of a new product (a good or a service) to the market, the introduction of a new process that produces products for the market, or delivers them, the use of new organizational structures or business practices, or the development of new markets or the capturing of a greater share of existing markets.
