Today we have with us Biman Najika Liyanage – researcher, innovator and entrepreneur from Sri-Lanka, member of the WEF Global Shapers initiative and Forbes 30 under 30 in 2017 (among other positions and titles). Biman's award-winning inventions, including Finger Braille Interface that allows blind people perceive and communicate information about colours, and a smart condom that can respond to blood flow and send health data to a smartphone app, cannot fail to impress with their acute vision of tackling modern societal challenges. But, as we have discovered today, much more than inventions themselves lies in Biman's integral philosophy of work and creation: he takes often-overlooked problems and finds solutions that would be easily available for the general public to use. We have followed with Biman his journey in China, where he came in 2008 chasing the first signs of the coming innovation age, and asked him about his thoughts on and work towards the development in Eurasia, including his home country, Sri Lanka.
