What Does Innovative Business Mean?
By innovation people often mean something unique from the category of space flights or new aircraft turbines, but this is not the case here.
Innovation is a significant improvement in an existing product or service. Particularly this improvement contributes to increasing the efficiency of processes or enhancing the quality of products in demand on the market.
Let us outline three ways to understand if your idea is innovative and give examples below:
Potential: Innovative ideas can be ground-breaking (not necessarily, but they can), meaning they can transform the industry or market they target.
Imagine that you have a vehicle fleet you rent out. Previously your customers had to rent it for at least one day and drive across the city to your parking lot. But now you have created a net of parking lots with the cars available around the entire city, provided an access to the vehicles via your app and let the customers rent the transport for any period of time.
It is no longer considered to be an innovation today, however a few years ago it was an innovative business approach that has completely changed the current situation on the market.
Market Demand: Your idea may address a current or future need that is not met to some extent. The main indicator of a market demand is the customers' willingness to pay for a product or service.
Imagine that you have opened a coffee point. It is obvious that people care about the coffee rather than waiting for it to be prepared. Therefore, some coffee chains have created their own apps that allow their customers to make an order on their way to the coffee shop, so that having entered it, they can immediately pick it up without waiting.
Any idea you have that reduces the time or effort of the client can be referred to an innovative one. To make it clear, let us give a couple of more examples:
McDonald's which reduced the waiting time for customers.
Ikea with their furniture you can assemble on your own without waiting for an assembler.
Amazon which let their customers purchase the products staying at home.
The list seems to be endless.
To sum up, an innovative idea can be recognized by three factors: novelty, revolutionary potential, and market demand.
Want to test your business idea? Sign up for a meeting where we will discuss your business or your business idea and help you figure out an innovative component in it.
Additional
Benefits
There can be no more than 5 applicants (5 founders) from one business project. It is necessary for each of them to own at least 10% of the project.
This means that upon arrival in Canada, you will need to open a legal entity with the corresponding shares.
The applicant or applicants will be required to set up a company where they own more than 50% of the total voting rights. The situation which implies that a business project is owned by some venture fund by more than 50% is unacceptable.
Each co-founder of a business project who plans to immigrate must pay for the education and be trained in a business incubator.
