<p>On a similar note, last week, I gave a keynote speech on reverse innovation to students at University of Alabama in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) disciplines. These students majoring in fields such as engineering, biology, chemistry, and other technology-oriented areas read my book, Reverse Innovation, over the summer. Throughout the school year, students work in teams to innovate new business models and products for problems faced by the poor. I was inspired after interacting with the smart young STEM majors. They didnt just listen; they wanted to act. One student told me, Your work has inspired me to change my mind-set to problems. I look forward to implementing it by visiting emerging economies. Of all the keynotes I gave this year, the one I gave to University of Alabama STEM students is the highlight. (The fact that I got to watch the AlabamaLSU game was icing on the cake!)</p>
