At BioInnovation Institute, we support early-stage innovation to create a long-lasting impact.   Scientific-based innovation often takes a long time before it reaches the market and society, but to succeed, it requires investors who are in it for the long haul and do not expect a fast return on investment.   But taking this into account, how does an investor assess the value of early-stage scientific-based innovation? I will ask this question to the talented Karen Firestone, who will join us for a ‘Talks at the Square’ on 28 October. You can sign up here: https://bit.ly/3YdLSri

Amazing event in Paris last week: During 3 days, ChangeNOW brought together, probably, the most innovative solutions and impactful changemakers tackling our planet's biggest challenges, to take action. Almost 1.000 companies, 35.000 participants from 120 countries sharing ideas, best practices and building bridges to create opportunities for thousands of key actors of change, in an inspiring and action-oriented event. A fantastic opportunity to meet, together with the Greentech Ventures Capitals, impact funds, foundations, private companies & banks, amazing entrepreneurs, activists and politics in the same place. Lots of wonderful appointments, passionate discussions about brilliant business ideas and how to activate (urgently) the changes we absolutely need for the planet (talent, budget, politics, technologies and behaviours). It was also a magnifique opportunity for Marc García-Durán Huet, Alex Ruiz Busquest & I to discover, for Underwatergardens International, new businesses and practices. It was also very inspiring to meet experts, networks and new players to reinforce our project like Wave-powered desalination solutions, regenerative agriculture and green praxis, revive bee populations, nature based solutions to clean the planet improving the economy and securing food chain, food or pharma based on seaweeds, new eco-materials, IA, education platforms and solutions to protect the biodiversity... At the end, an ocean of solutions to be optimistic. #changeNow #climatechange #blueconomy #greentech #circulareconomy

Visiting Slush, this time we combine the two most important areas of our time, health and climate. Together with Cambridge University we will highlight how startups are enabling industrial sectors to transition to sustainability, and the role of policy, collaboration and markets in scaling solutions to system-level sustainability challenges.

Rob Appleby will be attending the World Agri-Food Tech Innovation Summit on the 30th September 2024.   Join Rob at 5:15pm, where he will be on a panel discussing “Seizing Opportunities: Strategic Moves in the Evolving AgTech Funding Landscape”. He will be joined on the panel by Alexander Corbacho, Rogier Pieterse, Anne-Valérie Bach and Eduardo Mufarej.   Chaired by Adam Anders, the panel will address the following questions:   In the past year, the agtech sector has undergone substantial consolidation. What challenges are arising in both public and private investments? How is this impacting early and later stage start-ups? How are start-ups and investors engaging with innovative strategies like roll-ups and partnerships? Where are the unique opportunities for growth and expansion through this process? What is the trajectory for the future of agtech investment? How do VCs view the current landscape and investment opportunities, and where do we see promising signs of sustained growth and recovery in the sector?

♻️ Did you miss our recent masterclass on cross-sectoral collaboration for the Regenerative Transition? We explored universities' pivotal role in driving the transition towards a regenerative economy, featuring valuable insights from Dr. Menno Wierdsma, Dr. Marlies van der Wee, and Tasha Day. Here are our four takeaways: 1️⃣ Purposeful learning: Students prioritise impact-driven learning over exams, emphasising the importance of prioritising learning above assessment. 2️⃣ Partnerships for progress: Successful partnerships thrive on equality, proximity, reciprocity, and long-term engagement to foster collaborative environments. 3️⃣ Engaging external partners: Dedicated individuals are crucial for programs engaging external partners, easing pressure on educators. 4️⃣ Hands-on learning: Practical experience cultivates vital real-life skills, necessitating a shift from traditional teaching methods. Let's utilise these insights to propel sustainability and innovation in our projects and institutions, shaping a future where regenerative practices flourish. 🌍 Don't miss out on future events around university-industry collaboration, entrepreneurship, impact & sustainability and more.  Browse our events page and register today https://bit.ly/3VwU7xn #RegenerativeEconomy #UniversityImpact #EntrepreneurialEducation #PartnershipSuccess

Last Thursday, we launched RX on Board: Regenerative Business Innovation online program. It was the first out of 19 interactive sessions (in six modules) we’ll be covering for the next three months guided by global experts in sustainable and regenerative practices. A blend of modern business innovation with ancient and indigenous wisdom. 🌱 View our program overview presentation here - https://lnkd.in/eEQXm4m7 Our first invited guest speaker, Jeremy Lent presented in his presentation on “How Can Technology Be in the Service of Life?” the flaws of the current global capitalist system and its roots in the worldview of separation and human supremacy. He concluded by emphasising the potential danger of the 'nature as a machine' metaphor in modern science and technology, and the need to explore alternative metaphors to provide a different understanding of the universe. Understanding Complex Systems and Nature's Intelligence, Ecological Civilisation and Life-Based Principles. Jeremy discussed the principles of life and their application to technology and society. He proposed the concept of an ecological civilisation, a shift towards a life-based economic and cultural system that promotes sustainable flourishing for both humans and the environment. He emphasised the principles of ecosystems like symbiosis, diversity, connectivity, balance, and regeneration, and how these could impact various aspects of society including technology, infrastructure, governance, and culture. Jeremy concluded by suggesting that this new way of thinking could lead to a long-lasting era of mutually beneficial symbiosis between humans and the living Earth.
