3 Key Takeaways:
- We lose a football size area of forest every 2 seconds around the world. It’s a growing challenge that we can’t ignore.
- As companies get bigger they often become less innovative so when looking for partnerships and companies to collaborate with, make sure you don’t end up in lopsided conversations with open minded people that can’t make anything happen.
- Look at regional, national and international funding streams and opportunities to help you turn your idea into reality.
