Enabling Innovation
An Approach to Innovation and a Look at Technologies that Enable New Products
 

Innovation has been defined as, "...the introduction of something new." Successful innovation though, embodies the intersection of technology, design, and a true understanding of the customer. The linkage of these three factors creates products that are not only new, but products your customers will want to buy. Aspen Research will share this approach to innovation and discuss some of the technologies that enabled new products. The specific case studies will be selected based on the backgrounds of those who sign up to attend.

 

A few innovative products will be highlighted, including the well publicized Segway® (we will have a couple on site for you to try!). Come spend an evening at Aspen Research Corporation with your fellow SAE members, try out a Segway®, and tour the facilities.
