Solving the climate crisis with radical technology-driven innovation

Solving the climate crisis with radical technology-driven innovation

First-hand experiences from a tech entrepreneur/VC taking on foodtech

The world is finally realizing the urgency of doing something about the climate crisis. What role do entrepreneurs and technology have in that? Who will realistically solve the challenges in time (if any)? What is the difference between ‘normal’ tech entrepreneurship and impact tech entrepreneurship? And other topics…

Rasmus Bjerngaard will discuss his experiences in founding startups in the context of the climate crisis, in conversation with Antoine Delmas, Instructor in Entrepreneurship on the Barcelona Campus.
