KeyNote
Sustainability is not an option
it will continue to shape how we live and earn our livelihoods. It will irreversibly also shape how our children live.
At the center of sustainability is energy – a highly complex system. It magically glows the bulb in our living rooms and puts food on our tables without showing the endless cogs that lead to it.
That’s why it is way too important for us not to understand and simplify.
In this conversation, we will all be the wide-eyed 5-year-olds. We will learn how to make sense of green businesses. We will learn what it will take to build it – locally and globally.
This will seek something from us – to learn to be builders, to remind ourselves of the joy of building from scratch and the pride of impacting our future.
You, the audience will take away the frame to understand and ideate opportunities. To build them and to do it with diverse, seemingly dysfunctional brilliant teams.
