In the upcoming EloTalk episodes, we delve into the role of technology in building a responsible and sustainable future. Yes, the connection between these elements is likely understood by everyone, even though the transition from words to actions isn't always clear. In the second season's episodes, we intertwine technology and humanism, the sustainability of the planet and human well-being, engineering sciences and emotions.
Our goal is to clarify the picture and make the significance of technology tangible. Technology is present everywhere, but we increasingly need people who are passionate about it as a profession. A sustainable future doesn't come to be without courageous contributors.
We have invited developers and change-makers from various industries and sectors of society as our speakers. With them, we discuss what building a sustainable future demands from both individuals and technologies, and why engineers will still be needed in the future.
We'll deep dive into the following topics:
- Courageous contributors are needed in the technology field to shape a sustainable future. Who are they now – and who will they be in the future? (episode in Finnish)
- How can we ideate and develop solutions that are forged responsibly and ensure a sustainable future? What is required to turn an idea into an industrial pilot device (or pilot product)? (episode in Finnish)
- How do we build a physical and mental landscape around or as an extension of a machine that enables scalability, commercialization, and international growth? What does it demand from individuals and technologies? (episode in Finnish)
- What if there were sufficient medicines for everyone in the world and people could afford them? And the production of medicines was both sustainable and energy-efficient? (episode in English)
