I just came out from a meeting with an engineering company specialized in robotics, willing to enter the healthcare marketplace. Very interesting model. I am not at liberty here of commenting further on it, but in the first five minutes I thought they had really something big.

And this reminds me of something that I have always believed (and said): the best opportunities lie at the frontiers of disciplines. It is an uncharted territory where the best minds of both disciplines can find tremendous value.

Just as examples of what I’m saying, think about the space between robotics and healthcare, engineering and healthcare, architecture and healthcare, global warming and healthcare, social entrepreneurship and healthcare… You name it! Innovation flourishes at the intersection of these areas.
