Morphology
The meaning 'a new and creative concept' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'innovative' (original, creative) with 'idea' (a concept or suggestion). This adjective+noun composition follows a regular compositional pattern common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand the phrase.
Etymology
Innovative idea creates a simple picture: the word innovative means making something new and the word idea means a thought or plan. So an innovative idea is a thought that changes the usual way of doing things, which is why it means 'a new and creative idea'.
