This event will involve developing competences in the use of innovative ways to harness opportunities that solve societal challenges while considering the short, medium and long term impact on all stakeholders.

Issues such as the need for transformation (commercial, social and environmental), becoming catalysts for change, and aligning environmental societal and organisational incentives would be discussed.
