Following advances in industrial strategy and organizational behaviour, as well as post-development debates in international relations, Globalization and Health launched the Reverse Innovation series in 2012, in order to forge an agenda to promote not just the innovativeness of low-income country health systems but to recognize current and advocate for future strengthened knowledge flow between the global south and global north. It was considered to be a timely antidote to a knowledge flow that has traditionally been characterised by unidirectionality of innovation and expertise. Since then, the series provides a repository of research, theory, commentary and debate through which a collective community of practice in Reverse Innovation might emerge and provide an evidence base to promote, support and mainstream this type of knowledge flow. In this Commentary, we review the series as a whole, explore what has been learnt and what needs to come next in terms of empirical research, business models, processes and theoretical contributions to inform reverse innovation.

回顾全球化与健康中的反向创新系列-我们在哪里以及还需要什么？

继工业战略和组织行为的进步以及国际关系中的发展后辩论之后，全球化与卫生组织在2012年推出了反向创新系列丛书，目的是制定一个议程，不仅促进低收入国家卫生系统的创新性但是要认识到当前情况并主张未来，可以加强全球南方和全球北方之间的知识交流。它被认为是知识流的及时解毒剂，该知识流传统上以创新和专业知识的单向性为特征。从那时起，该系列文章提供了研究，理论，评论和辩论的资料库，通过该资料库，可能会出现反向创新实践的集体社区，并为促进，支持和主流化此类知识流提供了证据基础。
