Today Penguin publishes my book Non-Bullshit Innovation: Radical Ideas from the World’s Smartest Minds. It took me to 20 countries from Peru to China to find the real thing. Because there's too much "innovation theatre" out there. Seems it's 30% off today amzn.to/2Ozam9b
Festivals beat conferences - THEHEAT.io ftw
🌍 As climate challenges rise, #ClimateAction events like🔥THE HEAT by @iRowan & VOYAGERS drive real solutions. Satgana's Anil Maguru joined leaders sparking impactful change. Huge thanks, David & team! 👏

My latest project: a climate-tech festival called 🔥THE HEAT that will celebrate the creative science-based entrepreneurship behind decarbonisation THEHEAT.io

Still long on humans
Very human-like Slush talk by @iRowan at Beyond the Paradigm Shift event. AI is here and we can certainly outsource work to it, even thinking - but we as humans have compassion, love and curiosity
Authors gotta hustle, even if that means getting the Prime Minister of Moldova unwittingly to endorse your book… Thanks Moldova Digital Summit team
Moldova Digital Summit started today.
Digitalization is ongoing & we’re ready to enhance technology further to make things easier, faster & more accessible for everyone.
@GuvernulRMD’s priority is to automate processes & make them more efficient for our citizens and businesses.
Thanks @Siftedeu for explaining how I went from editing @WiredUK to becoming an accidental climate-tech and health-tech VC… after setting up the not-for-profit @VOYAGERSHQ community sifted.eu/articles/voyagers-…
I’m moderating a big climate-tech event today in a giant tent in a forest south of Tel Aviv, where the goal is to be “carbon balanced” and re-use/offset everything. Other event organisers, please take note.
Big events are notoriously unsustainable, but that’s changing now thanks to Israeli innovation. Propelled by innovators from across the country, the Climate Solutions Festival is “raising the bar for sustainable event production.” Click here to learn how 👉okt.to/BYF8p5
Loving the opportunity to bring outside talent to collaborate with Britain’s leading applied-science campus

I absolutely fell in love with Non-Bullshit Innovation at first sight. His insights and perspective into entrepreneurship and business transformation are mind-blowing. I learned so much from his talks as well.

When I founded the @festivalofinnov ten years ago, it was in my mind to be implicitly about #innovation without the BS. Then @iRowan wrote the book! So I'm delighted our worlds will collide at last this year when he'll join us in #Malvern on Thur 7th Oct - festival-innovation.com/prog…
