1. **How Brazilians turned Facebook into a practical tool in stores** One common issue for physical shops is that “likes” on Facebook for products don’t affect sales in the real world. The Brazilian retail giant C&A came up with a solution: they display the number of likes online right on the shelves where the products are sold, so customers can see immediately how popular the items are.

According to the creators, this breaks down the barrier between online and offline interactions, allowing brands to stand out in an increasingly digital world. It’s simple yet effective: you look, you decide, you buy.

2. **A paper-made bicycle that costs less than 15 euros** Environmental awareness is still not widely embraced in Russia, but in countries where it’s a priority, people have found creative ways to make green technologies more accessible. For example, an Israeli entrepreneur developed a cardboard bicycle that is lightweight, strong, and affordable—perfect for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

3. **A light that doesn’t rely on batteries or electricity** For millions of people in poor regions, accessing electricity is a problem.
