What is "Innovation"?
   It is said that the word "Innovation" is derived from the Latin "Innovare" (renew) i "in" (within) + "novare" (change) ). In Japanese, the word is rephrased to mean technological renovation and management reorganization or simply renovation or renewal, but innovation also means using new technology and ways of thinking in existing materials and structures to create new value and to make significant changes in society. For example, the technology for the internal combustion (engine) and semiconductors appeared in the world of automobiles, personal computers and the Internet in combination with other technology to change our lives on a grand scale. It can be said that this is a typical example of innovation.
