Innovation is developing new ways of experiencing and perceiving ourselves and the world.

All members of an organisation should do the thinking.

His ambition is to get European business and education together in a common challenge to innovate daily learning, working and living, using the strong European tradtitions as ideasources:
to reach a real Aristotelean practice of high tech sustainable life.
