This event is part of the Marketplace Discussions series in an attempt to bridge the gap between disciplines.
Summary: In this marketplace discussion, the main discussion will center around innovation in consumer goods: where all those new products in your supermarket and drugstore come from. How big corporations try to figure out what you'll be willing to buy, and usually fail to get it right. What sustainability & impact investing actually means, and how simple it is to do well if you understand how it should work (which isn't how it currently works).
