Innovation is an application of invention so that it creates value\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Q: How can we innovate in the field? Shouldn\u2019t the UNHCR Innovation Service be located in Silicon Valley?<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Innovation is not about location, but about mindset, and a set of tools that help us to solve problems. Any environment can be turned into a place for innovation, but innovation is certainly not defined by geography.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Q: What is the difference between innovation and imitation?<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Please see next question, or read this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unhcr.org\/innovation\/innovation-imitation-in-uganda\/\">article<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Q: I\u2019m confused, so innovation is not about technology?<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A: Being confused can be the first, important step to mindset change!
