Linking ideas to execution.

InnovationTrek fills a long overdue need.

Since before 1984 we fight inertia, just as many did for centuries and millenniums before.

From Aesop to Ludwig Boltzman. From Emperor Hadrian to Isaac Newton. From Alexander or Darius to Albert Einstein. From Karl Benz to Aurel Persu. From the Wright brothers to Henri Coanda...

If we always only acted fit to time, we would live in a dark and cold world still. Not true?

People with ideas have always been shut down, made fun of, or seen "out there".

Instead, here ideas are welcomed. We can help make anywhere innovation friendly.
