Review on Creative Destruction Lab by ADEKEYE OLATAYO
Saving Ideas from Degeneration
Especially at a time when the world must unify to fight a common deadly enemy, it is necessitated as always, to glorify the fundamental of science that prioritizes the importance of sharing ideas. Some to-be-laudable discoveries had perished while some were left untapped due to limited and unpopular platforms that could transform a lab eureka to a critical commercial discourse aimed towards the advancement of science and technology. CDL with its free application and zero equity standout as an objective organization that help cluster the array of diverse innovations into an “invaluable rocket” shot so the deeds could see the light.
In my opinion, CDL should spread its tentacles especially to developing countries around the world so as to facilitate the integration of every significant discovery that may be fraughted with varying challenges regardless the location, thereby illuminating the world through her ingenious course.
Pros
- Encourages continuity of consummated ideas
- Facilitates dissemination of information on new discoveries to the outside world
- Enables exchange of ideas with other researchers in related fields
Cons
- If mentors meet every eight weeks in Oxford, Toronto or Vancouver, this could only mean the NGO is quite exclusive.
- Limited outlets to allow global integration
