Full house (overfull, even) for the Beyond Growth session at #ChangeNow2026 with Kate Raworth, Olivier De Schutter and others.
How interesting. Mete Coban, Deputy Mayor of London, says data centers in London are in direct competition with new housing. Competition for what? Grid capacity. No spare grid capacity, no authorisation to build new housing.
One for @gerrymcgovern
"Systems of small non-profits do almost all of the re-using and recycling in France. Meanwhile, every month for-profit startups are launched around re-use and recycle, and they all go bankrupt. And yet, powerful stakeholders keep inviting startups, which don't work, to meetings, whereas non-profits, which do, are considered unserious and unprofessional."
Sometime during the 2010s the presentation style of tech conferences ("Let me tell you a story", "gonna change the world", hero founders journeys) became seriously cringe.
I realise I attach credibility to grim presentations with academic paper-style figures.
Comme pour les années précédentes le printemps est aussi le rendez-vous #ChangeNow.
L'occasion de vibrer au rythme des innovations durables, des solutions climatiques, et toujours avec des rencontres inspirantes.
Cette année c'est du 30 mars au 1er avril 2026, pour une immersion totale dans un monde positif avec 1000 startups et des milliers d'acteurs du changement.
Et toi, comptes-tu y aller et me rejoindre pour participer à l'accéléreration de la transition ?
