Here are this year’s winners 创新奖：我们一年一度的创新奖分八类颁给成功的创新家们。下面就是今年的获奖者。 Dec 1st 2012 | from the print edition THIS newspaper was established in 1843 to take part in “a severe contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress.” One of the chief ways in which intelligence presses forward is through innovation, which is now recognised as one of the most important contributors to economic growth. Innovation, in turn, depends on the creative individuals who dream up new ideas and turn them into reality. 《经济学人》这份报纸创办于1843年，其宗旨是参与到“前进智者的激烈竞争以及阻碍我们进步的不值又懦弱的无知中”。而智者们向前进的一个主要方式就是创新，现如今，创新也被看作是经济增长最重要的因素之一。反过来，创新源于有创造力的个人，他们想出新点子，并将那些点子变成现实。 The Economist recognises these talented people through its annual Innovation awards, presented in eight fields: bioscience, computing and telecommunications, energy and the environment, social and economic innovation, business-process innovation, consumer products, a flexible “no boundaries” category, and the corporate use of innovation. The awards were presented by Tom Standage, digital editor of The Economist and editor of Technology Quarterly, at a ceremony at BAFTA in London on November 15th.
