A pen that writes in over 16 million colors?

Plastic bags that are “upcycled” into student backpacks with solar-powered lamps?

Ambulance drones?

These are just a few of the amazing new innovations from businesses around the world. How are they doing it? By creating corporate cultures that supports the development of great ideas, and by hiring people who:

• collaborate well;
• think outside the box; and
• work in environments that foster creativity and innovation.

Let’s take a look at what some of these amazing companies and people have created.

The 16 Million Color Pen

Scribble is a pen with two very special ends – one is a drawing nib with refillable ink cartridges; the other is a scanner. What makes it so amazing? In just a few seconds, Scribble scans the color of any object and converts it to an RGB value (which is stored in Scribble’s internal memory and can be synced to many digital devices).

Then, the pen custom-mixes ink, which enables it to immediately begin drawing with that exact color. And if that wasn’t cool enough, Scribble comes in two forms – the Ink Pen described above to draw on paper, and a Digital Stylus to draw on iPads, Android tablets and Microsoft Surface.

Superhero Student Backpacks

Repurpose School Bags were created with a noble mission in mind – providing students in poverty-stricken communities with the tools they need to realize their academic potential.

Made from recycled plastic bags, Repurpose backpacks feature small solar panels that harness the sun’s energy (during students’ walk to and from school). When students return home, the panels power high-efficiency lamps that allow them to complete their studies at night.

Flying First-Aid Kits

Emergencies can strike anywhere, anytime – but ambulances can get caught in traffic, or be unable to reach victims in remote areas. The Ambulance Drone overcomes these obstacles by delivering emergency supplies (via drone) to any location within minutes. Equipped with an automated defibrillator and other essential medical equipment, the drone allows any lay-person to deliver nontechnical lifesaving procedures.
