The Disruptive Innovation Festival is curated by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and in 2015 will take place over three weeks from 2nd - 20th November.
The DIF brings together thought-leaders, entrepreneurs, businesses, makers, learners and doers to catalyse system-level change for a future economy. Over three weeks, using a mix of online and face to face events, participants have an abundance of opportunities to explore the economy through a different lens. We want to share all the ways you and our partners are challenging the linear ‘take make and dispose’ model of the economy, replacing it by a more prosperous regenerative and circular economy - is this the ultimate disruption?
Examples of some of the broad themes that encompass this are:
DESIGN INNOVATION
SYSTEMS THINKING
21ST CENTURY SCIENCE
MATERIALS AND ENERGY
NEW BUSINESS MODELS
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
SHARING ECONOMY
INTERNET OF THINGS
