Innovation delivers the greatest economic advantages when it is shared. This happens when a community has a fairly free flow of ideas, technologies and workers which, in the process of recombining, creates even better ideas, tools and talents.

The innovation community is one that can meld its many minds into a kind of collective super-brain. 3, record 2, English, - cross%2Dpollination
