How can we combine the power of nature and human ingenuity to create a flourishing future for all?
It's a critical time for innovators to drive engagement with the ideas and projects the world needs right now.
At the same time, the world we live in today is so busy, so overstimulated and so easily-distracted.
This planet is home to amazing wildlife and wild places. We need to shape a healthy and flourishing world that provides a positive future for both wildlife and people. It's time to revisit the balance in resource use between humans and all other species.
Fortunately, there's no shortage of entrepreneurs and innovators looking for sustainable ways to approach these challenges. But what does it take to cut through all the noise and give our ideas the engagement they need?
And what's the role of entrepreneurship, innovation and technology in solving the existential problems our planet and all its inhabitants face anyway?
Join Taronga Zoo and a panel of successful entrepreneurs who have breathed life into world-changing ideas for a conversation around the kind of world we want to shape, and the role that everyone can play in shaping that future.
