An innovator is a person or group that introduces something new or does something for the first time. Innovators can be individuals or organizations that seek to bring about meaningful change through creative, novel ideas. Innovators often have well-developed problem-solving skills and perform research on a given subject before coming up with an original solution or idea. They also take risks to achieve their goals because they believe in their vision for the future of their product or service and are willing to put in the necessary time, effort, and resources to make it happen. Innovators can create new ideas, methods, or products, and they might also develop new iterations on products that have already been created. Innovators can be modernizers, introducers, inventors, or changers.
