Digital problem solving for a sustainable world...

A session at Digital Shoreditch Festival 2012

Sustainability is the biggest business opportunity of our time. We want your help to find solutions to a live sustainability challenge posed by one of our partners. We're a leading sustainability non-profit. We work with over 100 of the biggest and most pioneering companies on the planet. Our job is to inspire, advise and ratchet up the ambition of business and government to create a sustainable world. What's that got to do with you? The businesses we work with need solutions. Every day they are tackling issues like water use, crashes in commodity prices, risks to supply chains, the challenge of getting people on board. They need innovative ideas fast. We will be bringing one of those live challenges to Digital Shoreditch and running an ideas generation session around it. We'll bring the sustainability thinking and expertise, but we want you to bring the digital expertise and creativity. This is a live business challenge and so there is potential for the best ideas to be taken forward and developed. Join us!
