How can innovation foster sustainable economic growth?

That’s the big question in Efosa Ojomo’s book, The Prosperity Paradox, published in 2019. In the new year (2025), it’s worth revisiting.

In a compelling and illuminating interview, Dr. Ivo Pezzuto, founder and chairperson of Ivo Pezzuto Forward Thinking Lab; and Professor of Digital Transformation, Sustainable Innovation, Global Economics & Competitiveness at the International School of Management, France, chats with Efosa on how market-creating innovations drive economic growth through empathy and design thinking.

Efosa reveals how specific financing and leadership can help these critical innovations take root, the five keys to unlocking their potential, and the impact of AI in the global development landscape. This fascinating piece was initially published in The Global Analyst‘s January 2025 Annual Special Issue (Volume 14, issue 1).
