This session was streamed as part of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Summit 22 event, held on the 5th July 2022.

At Summit 22, we were joined by guest speakers to discuss how we can move from ‘hope’ to ‘how’ by designing and innovating differently from the outset, delivering lasting economic value that creates better outcomes for the environment and for people.
