Show Highlights
Some of the highlights of this episode include:
Ask for help when trying to get a new, ground-breaking idea from inception to reality - you often can't do it on your own, as an individual. Going out to where your potential partners are e.g. Trade Shows; and publishing in quality journals is a great way to get interest in a new invention. Victor's philosophy is that we all need to become part of the energy supply side, to help with the problem of energy consumption, particularly producing energy on the site where it is consumed. Victor's strong belief in his idea, his market research and development of prototype to demonstrate the concept have lead to where Tropiglas is today, and the high level of interest from big investors.

#1 thing to be innovative – Having a mindset to recognize future trends, needs and opportunities and be inquisitive. Best thing for new ideas – My approach is to get clear about the end result - the outcome or product and then formulate a process to start making it and getting there. Keep project / client on track – Having good people in the team, all focused on "the why" and employing good people management. Also important is belief in the business owner / leader.
