From Vision to Action: Accelerating the Leap to Resilient, Regenerative, and Circular Economies through Distributed Innovation

This is a demonstration and invitation into participating in a methodology designed to accelerate the implementation of sustainable innovation and for scaling regenerative solutions globally. The method is not theoretical. The process feeds directly into real site developments in 1.Cameroon, 2. An Indigenous area in the Amazonian Rainforest in Brazil, as well as 3. in a Nordic setting, investigating the needs and possibilities for those sites for the people on them to thrive in a circular and regenerative economy, showcasing the future.

Participants can interact with the process remotely by posing questions, or give reflectionson the ongoing broadcasted process. These interactions will then be fed into the process at certain points during the session. One such point is before we open up the stage for our panel members who can share their thoughts on topics raised and maybe offer their own views on the tasks at hand.

During the process participants will see the opportunities and challenges from many perspectives, thus broadening our understanding of given topics as we move through them and think collectively. The process aims at leveraging green innovation & technology, products, networks, methods and neural connections to accelerate the transformation of visionary ideas into actionable strategies for building resilient, regenerative communities and circular economies Worldwide.

With ongoing showcase projects discussed, we aim to show the possibilities for other regions to be receivers of said methodology and its results, to connect with more solutions that could be implemented across our projects around the globe to further accelerate the implementation of regenerative and circular practices and help these places reach the global sustainable development goals whilst thriving as societies.

The aim is that by the end of the session, attendees will leave with:

• Actionable insights ready for immediate impact,

• Opportunities for collaboration on current projects and future initiatives,

• Adaptable strategies for applying circular practices across different regions, and

• A roadmap for involvement in ongoing projects and future regenerative initiatives

Transition from Risks & Opportunities to Implementation
(Moderator: Ørnulf Falck Nordbø)

Are there any universal solutions that could be applied to these places? What needsto be site specific?

• Artur shares some topics raised by participants during sessions
• Short answers from previous speakers before going into the next section

We open up for some of topics raised by those involved and give space for answers. Next section touches on one solution that we are implementing as a driver for the sustainable development we are looking for in all our working cases. Can thennshowcasing of this versatile use of one natural product trigger a process of seeing how values and high tech industries can be made within the context of nature? What else is out there?
