Value capture

Value capture is a way for a company to make money from an idea or invention. It happens when a company or person creates something that other people want or need. For example, if someone invents a new toy that everyone loves, the inventor could sell that toy and make money from it. The inventor has captured the value of the toy, because their idea has been worth something to people. The money the inventor makes is called "value capture".
