Hidden innovators: The untold stories that shaped our world

An interactive journey with Dr. Audrey-Flore Ngomsik on the  forces behind human progress

Behind humanity’s greatest breakthroughs—from space exploration to drug safety, HIV research to climate science—stand remarkable innovators whose names history often forgot.


In this interactive evening, award-winning sustainability architect Dr. Audrey-Flore Ngomsik invites you to step into their world. Through compelling storytelling and collective detective work, participants will uncover the hidden figures whose insights transformed medicine, computing, and physics—yet remained largely unrecognized.


But the evening is more than a celebration of overlooked pioneers. As the journey unfolds, a deeper truth emerges: a new way of seeing how innovation truly happens, and what that means for solving today’s global challenges.


Dr. Ngomsik, PhD in Physical and Analytical Chemistry from Sorbonne University, CEO of Trianon Scientific Communication, and advisor to European institutions, brings her expertise at the intersection of science, sustainability, and leadership to guide this unique exploration.


Could understanding the real engines of human progress help us unlock solutions for the climate crisis and sustainable growth today?
