💦 Unlocking the Potential of Marine-Based Compounds: Insights from our Verona Workshop! 🌟 🔬Explore the revolutionary power of marine-based compounds at our recent workshop in Verona, where professionals convened to delve into the world of sustainable innovation. Our program featured the most recent developments in #biochemistry and #sustainability, from cutting-edge research to practical applications. 🦠At the heart of the workshop was the SECRETed Project H2020, a groundbreaking initiative focused on harnessing the untapped potential of marine organisms to develop eco-friendly solutions for a range of industries. Through collaborative efforts and interdisciplinary discussions, participants delved deep into the science behind #biosurfactants, #siderophores, and other marine wonders, uncovering their diverse applications in agriculture, cosmetics, food, and more 🌱💄🍞 🧑💼Our varied speaker lineup—which included scientists, business executives, and environmentalists—shared their knowledge and perspectives, illuminating the cutting-edge research being carried out by the SECRETed Project H2020 consortium. Every presentation, ranging from talks on the significance of increasing consumer awareness to debates about production process optimization, provided insightful insights into how marine-based compounds contribute to sustainable development. 🤝However, our workshop served as a catalyst for cooperation and action rather than merely providing a forum for the sharing of knowledge. Participants had the chance to network with like-minded industry people, create new alliances, and investigate possible directions for further study and cooperation. Together, we created the foundation for upcoming projects that will keep the field of marine biochemistry moving ahead. 💡As we reflect on the success of our Verona workshop, we invite you to join us in our mission to unlock the full potential of marine-based compounds for a more sustainable future. 🌐Visit our website to explore the highlights from the event and learn how you can get involved in the SECRETed Project H2020.

Another local event for Defankle Innovation yesterday at the ScotlandIS cluster conference. This time on a panel discussing #Sustainable #Innovation, specifically around product design (although loads of AI chat). Lots of stimulating discussions fuelled by morning session talks from Mike Robinson and Dieter Helm. The conversation was sobering with hints of hopeful optimism. Key takeaways: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧The U.K., and in particular Scotland, are doing lots of exciting things to improve the sustainability of technology. Let’s tell these stories more! ⏰💚The very best time to think about sustainability is before you start projects - right at the very beginning (as well as throughout). 💪Understanding the ‘problems’ around sustainability (and, actually, any aspect of innovation) is an opportunity for learning, improved innovation and better business. Welcome problem exploration, don’t brush if off or rush through it too quickly. Sit with it, model it, and act on it. 🌎🌳🤷🏻♀️Sustainability (the 17 United Nations #SDGs) goes beyond carbon. A singular focus consolidates efforts but is also be storing up issues for the future. If you would like to explore understanding the opportunities in your organisation around better innovation, let's have a chat.
