Global Ideas Bank

What Company Is Offering:
The Global Ideas Bank aims to promote and disseminate good creative ideas to improve society. It further aims to encourage the public to generate these ideas, to participate in the problem-solving process.
These ideas they term social inventions: non-technological, non-product, non-gadget ideas for social change. These are a mix of existing projects, fledgling initiatives and new bright ideas.
In this way, the Global Ideas Bank is part-suggestions box, part-ideas network and part-democratic think-tank, giving the "ordinary" person a chance to have their creativity recognised, rewarded and even put into practice.
The Global Ideas Bank further aims to provide information and a community to help those individuals who wish to make their idea or project a reality in their own community. See the Practical Help and Success Stories sections for more on this.

How It Works:

Just register or login (which is very quick), then go to Submit an Idea and then type in the problem that your idea solves and the text of your idea. It's as simple as that.
The intention is that ideas can evolve from an initial concept to a fledgling project and then be brought to fruition. The inventors of 'seeds' that get a high feasibility rating may be invited to submit more information to become a 'plant'; they, or someone else, can then use that to put the idea into practice....and become a tree, a project changing the world.

Once you've registered, you can submit an idea, sign up to support ideas, comment on ideas and choose to receive ideas by e-mail in a particular category each week. You can alter your preferences/profile whenever you want by logging in and checking out MyGIB.
