Social Innovation Interests

When it comes to social innovation, my main interest is in ensuring that good work gets the public profile it deserves. 

I have a soft spot for social innovations in tech and sustainability, as well as a keen interest in collaborative economies and emerging market product design. 

Social Innovation Experience

I spent two years coordinating the online community which gathered around the Social Innovation Europe initiative.

Looking forward-Social Innovation Aspirations

I'd like to see planned obsolescence become very unfashionable in my lifetime. I appreciate the paradox, but I think the solution is somewhere in the contradiction.

Your favourite Social Innovation

I am a big fan of the Maker Movement in general and Technology Will Save Us in particular. (http://www.socialinnovationeurope.eu/magazine/interviews/sie-interviews-technology-will-save-us)
