There’s a mutually dependent relationship between money and innovation. If you’re doing it right, innovation should lead to an increase in wealth. And you also need money to be able to make your innovative ideas work. But, there’s a lot more under the surface in terms of how investing and wealth creation impacts innovation and how innovation impacts our behaviours around investing. We only need to look at the world of startups, Venture Capital and innovation hubs like Silicon Valley to start understanding the interplay. 

Key Learnings and Takeaways

  • New technology brings not only new understanding of money, but also new sources of funding
  • Blockchain technology can help millions of people, women especially, obtain legal identity, access to learning and access to funding
  • There is a cyclical effect where innovating the world of funding through innovative assets powers new innovation, which in turn impacts the way we utilise those assets
