Openness: the key to sustainable development by Ismo Aro

Description

Hi changemaker!

Sustinaires community event in February is all about openness. Our guest speaker Ismo Aro is an entrepreneur and CTO who believes that technology is inherently neutral. Its true power is determined by the direction in which it is harnessed. He believes that sustainable and open innovation is key to steering technological development toward constructive and sustainable solutions.

Ismo will be delivering an intriguing session about the significance of open innovation and knowledge sharing and why technology should be considered as catalyst for societal well-being and sustainable progress. He challenges traditional paradigms based on intellectual property rights, where patents and closed innovations often impede development and prioritise economic interests over human welfare. By embracing openness, innovation can be shared, further development accelerated and equal opportunities in education and employment ensured.
