What Drives Successful Innovation? An Open Letter to Innovators
Words by Carlos Pichardo
I slept and dreamt that life was joy.
I awoke and saw that life was service.
I acted and behold, service was joy.
– Rabindranath Tagore
Recently, yet2 was chosen to be a Power Connector for the E-SCRAP Prize Challenge hosted by the U.S Department of Energy. With electronic waste being the fastest-growing waste stream, efforts to curb their harm are crucial.
As we undertook our mission of connecting potential solution providers with up to $4 million in funding, we were reminded that each provider represents individuals in the world dedicating their time to solving the problems of today and tomorrow. It is our honor and joy to be serving in this way.
In this journey, we’ve engaged with thousands of brilliant innovators, working on projects that inch the world closer to a more sustainable and innovative world. Whether the change comes from caring for our soil, clearing up what’s in our skies, or taking care of ourselves, every step in the right direction is monumental.
Every day, yet2 helps people figure out their way of making a difference. We connect them with their ideal partners with a similar mission and ensure they have what they need on their journey. That’s our way of making a difference.
Here’s an open letter asking: What’s your way of making a difference and what can we do to help?
yet2 believes innovation is not just about the next big breakthrough; it’s about the continuous efforts of all those who dare to dream and do. To all the innovators out there—whether you’re scribbling ideas on a napkin or leading a team in a well-established lab—we are grateful for your boldness and your creativity.
Your relentless pursuit of improvement drives us, and your vision inspires our daily work, but the job’s not done.
As we look to the future, we are excited to continue this journey with you. yet2’s commitment remains strong—to serve as a bridge between great ideas and their implementation.
Thank you for joining us on this remarkable adventure. We’re excited to keep innovating and to keep serving.
