I am a strong believer that innovation is everywhere, and anyone is able to propose innovative things. You don’t need any diploma for that, craziness, creativity or imagination is way enough. To prove my point I made the most of a great event: CLAAS 100th birthday which took place in Le Mans, France last Saturday (yet celebrated worldwide at the same time).

We proposed CLAAS employees’ children to draw the tractor of the future:

And as you can see below, the rule didn’t afraid them at all! In the end, we got “a dragon tractor”, “a submarine tractor” or even a “UAV (drone) tractor”!

At the end of the day, the 1st line of CLAAS executives and a Dassault Systèmes representative deliberated to select the winner, and who knows… maybe you will soon see the winning innovation in the future CLAAS tractors…

The winning tractor was the one of Cloé who drew a sustainable tractor working thanks to electric panels and able to tow another tractor to save energy.

So congratulations to all the children who participated and congratulations to CLAAS for organizing such a great party!  🙂

Everyone can be an innovator, even 7-year old kids.  😉
