Convergent Innovation Webinar Series with Peter Schelstraete
Inventing “One-World” Solutions for Lifelong Wellness and Sustainable Economic Growth
Peter Schelstraete
Co-founder and CEO of Ubuntoo, an Environmental Solutions Platform at the crossroads of AI and Human Expertise.
In today’s world, it just takes minutes to find your next AirBnB or Uber. But when it comes to finding environmental solutions, the world still largely operates in traditional ways. Most companies, even those with aspirational environmental targets, still operate with conventional top-down approach – largely focused on tradition-al approaches and partnerships. Considering the enormity of the environmental challenges and the necessity to act with speed, it is time we embrace the advantages of platform economies. During this presentation, Peter Schelstraete will show how we leverage digital technologies and the principles of network effects to scale environmental solutions and help solve the world’s most pressing environmental issues.
About the Series
The Convergent Innovation Webinar Series will feature cutting edge science, technology and innovation in agriculture, food and health domains as well as in the behavioural, commercial, social and complexity sciences. These, combined with traditions from around the world, will altogether articulate an interdisciplinary research and action strategy to transform agricultural products like pulses from undifferentiated commodities into higher-margin whole and value-added food products that support sustainable development and affordable healthcare. Progressively, programs in the CI-Food webinar series will be developed for other agricultural products with high CI potential, e.g., dairy, fruits, vegetables, and others.
