One of the more noticeable additions is a flea market that features climate-conscious brands and circular economy models.<\/p>\n
The programming here is being shaped in part by Maatam, a Kochi-based collective working at the intersection of design, sustainability, and storytelling.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe future of sustainability is through technology. But, of course, we want to showcase to all, especially those who push at the limits of technology, what\u2019s possible, even if it\u2019s small-scale,\u201d says Visakha G Raj of Maatam.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the end of the day, you don\u2019t need to be a brand or a business to participate in climate action. You could be someone who composts, someone who repairs clothes, etc. That\u2019s also design thinking. That\u2019s also innovation,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n
In addition, two discussions are also planned. Titled \u2018What Can I Do?\u2019 and \u2018What Can We Do?\u2019, these bring together climate communicators, renewable energy practitioners, behavioural design experts and community architects to explore both individual and systemic responses to climate concerns.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve done product demos, pitch sessions, and investor meets. We\u2019ll continue to do those,\u201d said a senior KSUM official. \u201cBut there\u2019s growing interest among founders and students alike to understand how their work connects to the bigger picture.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the more noticeable additions is a flea market that features climate-conscious brands and circular economy models.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":41068,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[28,158,33180,33181,14729,10171,172],"class_list":{"0":"post-41067","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entrepreneurship","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-entrepreneurship","10":"tag-kerala-startup-mission","11":"tag-maatam","12":"tag-startup","13":"tag-sustainability","14":"tag-tech"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41067"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41067\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
