Why we write about this topic:<\/summary>

In our\u00a0weekly\u00a0recap on Sunday, we, as editors, look back at the past seven days. We do this at the suggestion of our cartoonist\u00a0Albert Jan Rasker<\/a>. He chooses a subject, makes a drawing, and we take it from there. If you\u2019d like to receive this weekly recap directly in your mailbox every Sunday morning,\u00a0just subscribe here<\/a>.<\/p><\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

Happy New(s) Year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we head to the highlights and predictions, as always, we focus on Albert Jan’s choice of the week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After giving birth, the newborn baby gets all the attention. How the young mother feels often remains underexposed. As well as the problems that have arisen due to complications during childbirth or because she imagined everything to be completely different from how it is. This is why Astrid Gyllenkrok Kristensen and Sandra Wirstr\u00f6m decided to use their start-up Leia<\/a> to educate women about the problems they may face after pregnancy. \u201cNot many people know it takes a year for a woman to recover hormonally, physically, and mentally after giving birth. This is something we try to convey in the app.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leia is one of more than 300 start-ups featured in our daily \u201cStart-up of the Day<\/a>\u201d series last year. All of our reporters, spread across Europe, participate in it. The start-ups are selected for their innovativeness and social relevance. Looking back, they were primarily energy, healthcare, and digitalization initiatives. For a reason: these are some of the big tasks of our time there. My prediction for next year: again, over 300 interesting, relevant and pioneering start-ups at Innovation Origins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not a prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That prediction is actually more of a planning exercise. After all, start-ups abound, as do social issues. For actual predictions, keep an eye on our sites next week: we asked part of our network about their expectations for the coming year. We asked them two questions: what will happen in 2023 in your field with great certainty, and what will probably not happen but would be very much needed? Your own answers in this regard are – obviously – just as welcome: just let us know at redactie@innovationorigins.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Someone who already pushed the question aside – with strong substantiation – is Rudy van Belkom, director of Stichting Toekomstbeeld der Techniek (STT). Fortunately, he came up with a good alternative, which you can read here:<\/p>\n\n\n

A plea against year-end lists and predictions – and in favor of a long-term vision<\/div>
Let me start by saying that I am a great advocate of looking ahead. If we want to make informed choices for the future, we … Continued<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
