1100 | Circular Economy: Redesigning Our Future
with Clémence Golinelli & Ilma Stankeviciute, Ellen MacArthur Foundation.
Today, many businesses operate in a linear way — they take resources from the ground to make products, which we use and then throw away. The circular economy offers a different way forward. It is a new approach to designing, making, and using things that benefits the economy, society, and the environment. In the webinar we will explore the origins of our current economy, discuss challenges such as waste and pollution, and learn how we can create long-term solutions to these challenges by shifting to a circular economy. We will look at real-life examples of ground-breaking innovation in key industries such as plastics, food, and fashion.

1300 | Three small robots and their dream to save the world
with Ben Scott Robinson, Small Robot Company
Farming is changing.
The ‘big’ technology that has provided us with food since the Second World War has stopped increasing yields. Farmers are spending too much money on countering the damage done by large tractors and
inaccurate per-field farming, while the yields they produce are static. Welcome to the fourth agricultural revolution.
Driven by technology that is intelligent precise… and Small. This is farming on a per-plant basis. Leading this revolution are three small robots called Tom, Dick and Harry, and their AI brain, Wilma. Together they are revolutionising the farming of the world’s biggest crops in a way that is more profitable for farmers, kinder to the environment, and produces more food for us.
