Inspiration
The Future of States project draws inspiration from the work of innovation studies globally like the Global Innovation Report 2015 as well as the World Intellectual Property Report 2015. This project is driven by enduring belief that states must envision a future before realising it. The inspiration of the work also comes from global body of work to study competitiveness at a sub-national level led by Professor Michael Porter. The inspiration behind this project is the belief that states must do their best to foster innovation, which will in turn drive economic and social well being of people in the years to come.
