Biomimicry and neurosciences: perspectives on transition
Olivier Hamant, Céline Bouton and Sébastien Bohler will shed light on the different approaches of the transition while sharing with businesses the keys to accelerating its implementation.
Join Speed Up Transition and hub.brussels, for a stimulating conference on the challenges of Economic Transition under the prism of biomimicry, neurosciences and ethical finance.
Olivier Hamant, Céline Bouton and Sébastien Bohler will shed light on why companies need to take a step aside to address the social and environmental issues that threaten their activities and ways of operating, from resource scarcity, physical and social disruption, to the difficulties associated with retaining talent and building loyalty among generations Y and Z.
Want to get further inspired by theses sciences to change perspective and embed sustainability into your company's strategy?
Come and listen to renowned biologist and researcher Olivier Hamant, Sébastien Bohler, Doctor in Neurosciences and editor-in-chief of Cerveau & Psycho, and Céline Bouton co-founder of Be impact and Lita.co as they discuss how a deeper understanding of nature and human cognition can contribute to building a more sustainable future.
About Speed Up Transition:
hub.brussels is organising an event on the opportunities and challenges of Economic Transition. It is aimed at managers of large companies and SMEs operating in the Brussels Region who want to position themselves as leaders in their sector, while taking account of developments linked to climate change, whether in terms of physical disruption, changes in European legislation, customer demands in terms of the social and environmental impact of companies, or younger generations who are increasingly difficult to retain.
