In short: Is it possible to materialize an ideas without personally implementing them?

I believe there should be a way to monetize on ideas, or at least to share them with the right people to ensure implementation when feasible/useful/applicable. Can this be done?

Perhaps an idea repository at least for the region, but what constitutes an obstacle imho is how to preserve rights of all participating parties, although it shouldn't be a deal breaker. I believe we need to spread and contribute to the culture of sharing that has some serious potential in the region imho, that could lead to a boost in creativity also.

IMHO, computer Ethics are not of a high value in the Arab word in general -let alone ethics themselves-, and Copyrights laws are not that strong -specially in technology related fields-, thats why Creative Commons (CC) and similar copyright licenses are being highly adopted and supported by alot of professional artists/programmers in the Arab region, However i am not sure of the usability of saw licenses with "Ideas" , i think guys like "habib haddad" can answer that part better than me.

Take a taxi ride in Amman and you'll hear 50 ideas in one hour.. Having smart and cool ideas doesn't mean you will succeed. Most people have the same ideas, and most will suck at execution, but only one or two will come out with something of value..

The saying "Ideas are a dime a dozen" was never more true than in the Internet age. We have seen the same ideas implemented by different startups over the past 15 years, but one or two prevail because they did one or two things differently.

Anyone wants free cool ideas, just drop me an email :)

I totally agree with Laith. If you think you have a good idea, probably 10 others have it ... It really boils down to execution, and as Laith quoted "Ideas are a dime a dozen, only execution matters" :) ... I would also add, it's not also just about doing it, it's about doing it right

That's why Ideation Box Labs is there, we are announcing a date for people to submit their ideas very soon, where we will be evaluating those ideas and work on the ones with the best results and implement them in cooperation with the owner of the idea!

Our goals is to help those people who come out with ideas and do not implement them for different reasons (financially, technically or lack of motivation), walk with them hand by hand throughout the path of having their ideas come an actual project!

Back to your question, an idea without being implemented is nothing! you can sell an implemented idea but I don't think you can sell and idea, unless a person was employed to generate ideas or sort of.

On behalf of the Ideators,

Firas Steitiyeh
