🌍 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝟒𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧'𝐬 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧? 🌱 Scientists warn of breached Planetary Boundaries, causing increasing challenges to our society and economy.   👉 #Regeneration means rebuilding a symbiotic relationship between humanity and the planet that hosts it. It requires redefining how we operate, moving away from resources exploitation/transformation and waste/pollution generation.

Thank you to our partners Romande Energie, Logitech G and the support of Vaud Economie for leading the way.   💡 EPFL Innovation Park strives to make a positive impact on society, and the Tech4Regeneration programme actively embraces and promotes this transition. Our action consists in mobilizing all those stakeholders to support regenerative pioneers who pave the way to a possible prosperous future. ☄️ Our focus begins with #startups, who are a fantastic vector for implementing new #business practices, due to their innovativeness, agility, speed of execution and dedication to a purpose.   🌍 Join us in our community to develop practical, pragmatic and actionable regenerative solutions: https://lnkd.in/eUpe-7Kb
