Sustainable Innovation: Challenges and Opportunities

The clock is ticking. We have perhaps 10 years to develop the solutions the world needs to tackle climate change and resource productivity. Martin’s presentation will discuss the issues below, providing examples and case studies from 20 years in business sustainability.

  • Major opportunities for innovation in new sustainable products, technologies and services
  • The challenges of commercialisation: how to move good ideas beyond R&D
  • Breakthroughs in big business: How to overcome corporate inertia and implant 'sustainable innovation' cultures
