About S3i Innovation Talks

S3i's Centre Talks brings together experts from diverse fields to contribute to our open community on their experience, drive, and passion for a better future. Each month, guest speakers will share their stories of the pitfalls, successes, and the most promising ideas on accelerating the transition to a sustainable business. We will invite speakers from the private and public sectors as well as colleagues from the UN. With these virtual talks, we look forward to sparking inspiration, motivation, and illustrating tools to drive concrete actions you can take towards a sustainable future.

These experts are invited as they share our values around sustainability and innovation. However, each contributor expresses their individual and company views in an open discussion on the topic in question and does not represent the views of S3i Innovation Centre in Sweden.

About the topic

It is estimated that 800 million people suffer from chronic hunger. This number could rise dramatically due to the threat to our global food systems by the ongoing pandemic. Join us and listen to inspiring people and organisations making sure we are able to provide affordable food to people and ensure that our food supply continues to flow.

With only 10 years left to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, accelerated efforts are needed to boost sustainable solutions to the biggest challenges we face. The Decade of Action asks for transformative economic, social, and environmental solutions across all industries - we will need inspiration and creativity at global, local, and individual levels from national and local governments, civil society, the private sector, academia, and youth.

The speakers

LENNART WALLANDER has been at Food & Friends communication agency for over two decades. Lennart is an experienced speaker and has unique insights into what is happening within the food and beverage industry. He is the go-to-guy when you need an update of what is coming in the food world, or he can alternatively provide restaurant recommendations when you do not know where to go.

MASHIR H. SHURID is a management engineer by profession and a social development enthusiast by passion. He started his career as a tech entrepreneur, and today his first start up is a full-fledged engineering R&D company. Currently, he leads AgriTech impact startup iPAGE where they work to even the playing field for underserved smallholder farmer-communities in the global south using data and precision technologies. He is committed to developing a resilient agricultural industry where all stakeholders and climate change matters.

You will be able to ask both speakers questions along the way, which will be answered in Q&A sessions at the end.

We look forward to seeing you!
