A red thread in 2022: How do we innovate differently?
Since May 5, France has been living on credit. The day of transcendence was reached in France, reminding us that if the whole world consumed like the French, it would take 2.9 planets to satisfy all our needs. Une donnée symbolique qui permet de nous rappeler qu’il est urgent de transformer en profondeur our modèles, 50 ans apres la parution du rapport meadows et l’alerte qu’il lançait sur les conséquences d’une croissance basee sur une infinie exploitation de nos Natural Resources. To do this, let’s invent differently. but how ? The WIS team wishes to enhance the interdependence between the challenges facing all actors and sectors of activity, to reintegrate and question the idea of progress in the concept of innovation to create a desirable and desirable future for our societies. ” Sometimes technological innovation is controversial and may be called into question when it does not contribute to the goal of progress beyond technical prowess. This edition raises the question of how to think, integrate and combine sobriety with technological advancement? Between technological innovation and user innovation, let us explore the levers that make our models pivot and build a sustainable future. ! says Nicholas Pereira, founder and president of the Global Impact Summit.
