I like to write about examples of innovation because such stories are behind many of the things we enjoy in modern life. The pace of innovation today is extraordinary, but it is definitely not unique to our era. It has been central to human civilization from the start. I recently learned about an example of a bio-materials innovation in England 100 years ago. It had to do with a strategic need for certain chemicals during WWI. Today there is a new company called Green Biologics which is employing the latest tools of biotechnology to engineer an improved means of producing those same bio-based chemicals. It is a great example of Innovation 2.0.
