How can one truly lead sustainable innovation? 🌱

For Dr. North, it begins with a question — how can what we create bring good to both people and the planet?

Her work in technical industries has always been guided by this belief: innovation isn’t just about new ideas; it’s about meaningful impact.

In our latest Women, Life and Science podcast episode, Dr. North shares her insights on scaling up innovations responsibly, communicating your mission with clarity, and attracting investors who care about long-term change — not just quick wins.

Because in the end, sustainable innovation is more than a strategy. It’s a commitment to be part of the solution, to design a better world, and to lead with purpose. 💚
