2017年，我們來慶祝“創新改變生活”
每天，平凡的人都在創造不非凡的新事物，把世界改造得更美好。
他們的創新形式五花八門，有的平淡無奇，有的卻如有神助：秘魯的廣告牌可以從空氣中收集水分，為當地社區提供清潔的飲用水；美國某大學的3D打印機可以再造受損的人體組織；肯尼亞有手機轉賬和小額信貸服務；印度農村采用可再生能源解決方案為冰箱供電；中國的石墨烯電池用幾分鐘就可以為手機充電；俄羅斯聯邦的尖端輔助技術可以幫助殘疾人執行日常任務。
把問題轉變為進步
從新藥物、新材料到改良農作物品種和改進的通信技術，創新使我們的生活更健康、更安全、更舒適。
創新是一種沒有止境的人類力量。它把問題轉變為進步。它不斷推進可能性的界限，創造出前所未有的新能力。
2017年世界知識產權日慶祝的正是這種創造力。我們將探討世界上最非凡的一些創新如何改變了我們的生活；新創意如何幫助解決共同的全球挑戰——氣候變化、健康、貧困和養活不斷增加的人口的需要。
我們將探討知識產權制度如何通過以下方式支持創新：吸引投資、回饋創造者、鼓勵他們開發自己的創意，并確保他們的新知識可以免費獲取，以使未來的創新者可以在當今新技術的基礎上再接再厲。
輪到你了
哪種創新對你的生活改變最大？應該怎樣做才能讓這些新技術到達需要它們的人？你認為未來創新有哪些方面應該優先考慮？

In 2017 we celebrate Innovation – Improving Lives
Every day, ordinary people are producing extraordinary new things to change the world for the better.
Their innovations take myriad forms, from the mundane to the seemingly miraculous: A billboard in Peru that harvests water from the air, supplying the local community with clean drinking water; a 3D-printer at an American university that regenerates damaged human tissue; a mobile money transfer and microfinancing service from Kenya, renewable energy solutions that power fridges in rural India; a graphene battery from China that charges a mobile phone in minutes; cutting-edge assistive technologies from the Russian Federation to help people with disabilities perform everyday tasks.
Problems to progress
From new medicines and materials to improved crop varieties and communications, innovation is making our lives healthier, safer, and more comfortable.
Innovation is a human force that knows no limits. It turns problems into progress. It pushes the boundaries of possibility, creating unprecedented new capabilities.
World Intellectual Property Day 2017 celebrates that creative force. We’ll explore how some of the world’s most extraordinary innovations have improved our lives; and how new ideas are helping tackle shared global challenges, such as climate change, health, poverty and the need to feed an ever-expanding population.
We’ll look at how the intellectual property system supports innovation by attracting investment, rewarding creators, encouraging them to develop their ideas, and ensuring that their new knowledge is freely available so that tomorrow’s innovators can build on today’s new technology.
Your turn
Which innovation has most improved your life? What more can be done to make sure new technologies reach the people who need them? What do you think should be the priorities for future innovation?
