About This Collection

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is an independent charity with the aim of inspiring a generation to re-think, re-design & build a positive future through the vision of a circular economy. Ellen MacArthur founded the Foundation to better understand how on land too we rely on finite resources in the form of materials, energy and water after her experiences as a world class sailor having sailed over 26,000 miles to become the fastest person to circumnavigate the globe single-handed.

The Circular Economy 100 is a global platform bringing together leading companies, emerging innovators and regions to accelerate the transition to a circular economy over a 1000-day (3 year) period. The Annual Summit was held Wednesday 19 June 2013.

Combining technology and urban farming to improve your wellbeing
November 15, 2019

Spending 90% of our time indoors negatively impacts health more than diet or exercise. Hexagro Urban Farming, an Italian startup, addresses this by creating a modular, nature-inspired system. Mimicking honeybee hives and tree structures, their solution transforms interior spaces into beautiful gardens, increasing access to healthy food.

Hexagro's automated indoor garden is modular, scalable, and utilizes high-pressure aeroponics, LED horticulture lighting, and environmental sensors. Join this session, streamed via Restream.io, to discover the first automated indoor garden designed to deliver abundance for everyone.
