Invention and Innovation

"Invention" can be defined as the creation of a product or introduction of a process for the first time. It refers to new concepts or products that derive from individual’s ideas or from scientific research. "Innovation," on the other hand, occurs if someone improves on or makes a significant contribution to an existing product, process or service. It represents the commercialization of the invention itself.

As Jan Fagerberg wrote in his 2004 article:
Invention is the first occurrence of an idea for a new product or process while innovation is the first attempt to carry it out into practice.

Innovation is the actualization or realization of an invention whether it is a societal benefit, commercialization, market entry or monetization.Unlike invention, which often concerns a single product or process, innovation often involves a combination of products and processes that allow the successful translation of “new ideas into tangible societal impact.”
