Rodolfo Lara Torres takes care about the Technology Pioneers Programme of the World Economic Forum, identifying every year companies with breakthrough innovations that will have a deep impact in business and society. So I asked Rodolfo about innovation in general, criterias for his choices, his personal favorits and what trends he sees coming up in the next years.

Prior to the Forum, Rodolfo worked in various strategic management positions with Siemens in Germany. Rodolfo was named himself a Global Leadership Fellow of the World Economic Forum in 2006.
