SEADS - Sea Defence Solutions

https://lnkd.in/eheBcaXB Today marks Global Plastic Overshoot Day, a sobering reminder that humanity has already consumed more plastic than our planet can handle this year. At SEADS, we are committed to being part of the solution! We are proud to design innovative systems that collect plastic waste from rivers before it reaches our oceans, transforming this crisis into opportunity. Every piece of plastic we recover will be recycled into new materials, fostering local jobs, and helping to improve the quality of life in the communities we serve. Together, we are not only reducing plastic pollution but also creating sustainable futures. Join us in the fight against plastic pollution! 💪🌱 Every step counts. Let’s make our world cleaner, safer, and more equitable – starting with our rivers. #GlobalPlasticOvershootDay #PlasticPollution #Sustainability #CleanRivers #RecyclePlastic #CircularEconomy #CommunityEmpowerment #ActNow #PlasticFreeOceans

Last week was pretty great. SEADS was awarded the Prix Bulles from the fantastic Pierre Cardin team during a wonderful event on the French Riviera. The "Ocean4 our Planet" award rewards startups whose actions and projects have a positive impact on the environment and our oceans. Here is our co-founder and CEO Fabio Dalmonte with the inimitable Bertrand Piccard founder of Solar Impulse Foundation 🙌 . Now back to work. Let's clean some more riverine and ocean plastic today! 😀

It was an honor to be a part of it 💙🌊 Every drop helps to clean the oceans! #sustainabledevelopment #google #wemakechange #savetheocean #cleanwater #againstplasticpollution

United in collecting plastic waste from the ocean 💙🌊

Last month, eight of our #SITAlumni (Fibsen, MYCOTEX by NEFFA, Newcy, PlasticFri®, Resortecs, ROSI, SEADS - Sea Defence Solutions and Vortex Bladeless Wind Power) pitched their impactful and innovative solutions to investors, illustrating how innovative technological ventures contribute to the circular economy and help address the impact of climate change in very different areas. These powerful presentations took place during the seventh ChangeNOW conference — the largest event on solutions for the planet — held in Paris from 25 to 27 March 2024. The three-day summit brought together over 35 000 of the world’s leading policymakers, entrepreneurs, investors, companies, non-governmental organisations and individuals to address pressing issues concerning climate, resources, biodiversity and inclusion. The jury at this #SITAlumni pitching session was joined by Aglaé Touchard Le Drian, Stéphanie de Beaumont, Rémi Said, Sammy Fry, Irwin Boutboul and Wiegertje Groenveld. Sit back, relax and enjoy the video below for the full pitching session. #Sustainability #ClimateChange #SaveThePlanet #Innovation #GreenTech #Environment #Event #Paris #Solutions #Speakers #ClimateAction #Planet #EIB #EIBInstitute #ChangeNOW2024 Shiva Dustdar Edina C.

ChangeNOW summit… the name says it all. Founded by two INSEAD Alumni: Santiago Lefebvre and Kevin Tayebaly (both MBA’15J), this event, which was held from March 25 to 27, is dedicated to showcasing and discussing concrete actions and projects that have and could have positive impact for systemic change. As we walked the aisles of the show, we had the privilege to meet leaders of change who passionately presented their solutions. Among them were INSEAD alumni showcasing their innovations, from SEADS - Sea Defence Solutions, whose mission is to protect our oceans by deploying river barriers that collect macroplastic waste, to PRONOE, a pioneer in restoring the oceans' natural carbon sequestration capabilities and Libu, which harnesses the power of biomimetic lighting to recreate sunlight with remarkable health benefits, reducing stress levels by an impressive 25%! 🌞 I also attended a few sessions which were incredibly inspiring, from the INSEAD Impact #Entrepreneurship Forum to the power of storytelling in raising awareness of climate change through various media platforms, to how to foster sustainable and shared mobility, to African women leading initiatives and solutions for social impact and climate change. Kudos to Santiago, Kevin, and the entire ChangeNOW team for orchestrating such a transformative and inspiring event. From the engaging content to the presentations of concrete solutions and the thoughtful inclusion of healthy and even vegan food, every detail was meticulously considered. #INSEADforGood #INSEADAlumni Paolo Senes (he/him) Evrim Taskiran Nicolas Sdez Manon Loustau Francisco Veloso Katell.

💚 Calling all #sustainability enthusiasts! How many of you dream of making a real impact but find yourselves in roles or companies where the connection isn't direct? 🌿 💛 I've always believed that creating a positive impact isn't confined to our job descriptions. It's in the values we embody and the actions we take daily, beyond the immediate scope of our work's products or services. Do you agree? ☀ 💙 However, attending ChangeNOW reignited my passion for sustainability to an extent I'd almost forgotten. Even 1 week later, there's something incredibly energizing about dedicating your day to meaningful work, embracing the broadest sense of 'impact.' 🌍 🧡 The variety of industries, innovations, and leadership I encountered across different countries and company sizes was not just inspiring but deeply motivating. 🔥 ❤️ A heartfelt thank you to Paula Miquelis for inviting me and introducing me to ID Genève Watches, who've created the first impact native luxury watch brand. ❤️ Special shoutout to Shiva Dustdar for consistently proving the incredible influence of female leadership in driving change; allowing me to discover the innovative startups backed by European Investment Bank (EIB), such as Resortecs with Cédric Vanhoeck, and SEADS - Sea Defence Solutions with Fabio Dalmonte and Paolo Senes (he/him). Their pioneering work in #circularity is nothing short of groundbreaking. ❤️ Lastly, immense gratitude to Fédération Française du Prêt à Porter Féminin and Thibaut Ledunois for organizing an unforgettable event around sustainability. Witnessing the tangible impact this federation makes in France and globally has been truly remarkable through companies such as Plan A (Johannes Weber, Laurent Lasserre). Loved that Aline Meynard humbly, honestly and authentically shared about their progress at Kitsuné, and Eva Kruse let us in on the amazing adventure that PANGAIA has brought forward through their innovations. #BeeTheChange 💜 To my network: How do you integrate sustainability into your daily life and work?
