Another local event for Defankle Innovation yesterday at the ScotlandIS cluster conference. This time on a panel discussing #Sustainable #Innovation, specifically around product design (although loads of AI chat). Lots of stimulating discussions fuelled by morning session talks from Mike Robinson and Dieter Helm. The conversation was sobering with hints of hopeful optimism. Key takeaways: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧The U.K., and in particular Scotland, are doing lots of exciting things to improve the sustainability of technology. Let’s tell these stories more! ⏰💚The very best time to think about sustainability is before you start projects - right at the very beginning (as well as throughout). 💪Understanding the ‘problems’ around sustainability (and, actually, any aspect of innovation) is an opportunity for learning, improved innovation and better business. Welcome problem exploration, don’t brush if off or rush through it too quickly. Sit with it, model it, and act on it. 🌎🌳🤷🏻♀️Sustainability (the 17 United Nations #SDGs) goes beyond carbon. A singular focus consolidates efforts but is also be storing up issues for the future. If you would like to explore understanding the opportunities in your organisation around better innovation, let's have a chat.

Have ya’all seen the ONLY 🌳 biodiversity credit 🌳 approach designed < from the bottom up > BY and FOR Indigenous Peoples and small regenerative agricultural stewards? They are award winning. We must continue to find new and innovative ways to increase private sector investment in nature and nature-protectors. This is one way. The more options - the better - for people, Mother Earth and future generations. #Indigenous #leadership in #conservation and #justclimatesolutions

We are in full swing now and Prof. Dr. Danilo Beuche is talking about sustainabilty and how it already starts with product development. Impressive to hear that according to european commission up to 80% of a product’s environmental impacts can be determined at the design phase! #changeisnow #sustainability #bettertogether #ptc #inneo INNEO Solutions GmbH
