Bioengineer addresses intractable problems by thinking local first.
When she moved to Ghana in 2021 to work on a circular manufacturing project, Saron Berhane found answers to 2 wicked problems. Ghanaian engineers already had solutions to complex environmental and socio-economic challenges. The key was now to rethink the other side - the manufacturing process in developed countries, such as Australia.
In this fascinating talk, agricultural technology entrepreneur Saron explains why communities in developing countries prefer local jobs over aid. Join the bioengineer to learn how, using biology and technology, manufacturing models in Australia can change to meet this need, while shifting away from polluters.
