Innovation

How often do you wonder how a product, you could never live without, was conceived? Every time I use my EZ Pass on the Thruway, I thank the person who invented it! This innovative product and service makes me appreciate the inventor every time I sail through the line, don’t have to find loose change and arrive at my destination sooner. I believe it is one of the best inventions in the last decade, besides Mapquest.  You might be able to tell, with a growing state-wide organization, I rely heavily on both when traveling to meet inspirational and hard working women entrepreneurs.

But who thought of it? Who had the guts to research the idea and then follow through with the patent? Who produced the prototype and then sold it? It takes a lot of work to create something new, make it a success and reap the rewards. Innovation takes time, inspiration, research and input. But think of those rewards and more importantly how the consumer is helped by what is developed.  Women TIES inspires women in business to be innovative today.
