Why connectUS?
At connectUS, we’re all about encouraging smart thinking and engagement with the big challenges facing our world. We want to show future leaders how innovation can lead to a more sustainable and resilient future, focusing on the thoughtful adoption of emerging technologies.
Our mission is to guide FHNW students through key topics like the challenges of building a circular economy, the rise of AI-driven productivity, food security with advanced engineering, the need for urban resilience, and the complexities of entrepreneurship. We’re looking to uncover practical solutions and strategies that are shaping sustainability in both Switzerland and Northern America.
By focusing on these areas of interest, we seek to inspire critical reflection and foster meaningful dialogue that advances innovative solutions and sustainable practices.
Exploring Innovation in Times of Change:
Fostering a Sustainable Tomorrow
The newest edition of connectUS focuses on how emerging technologies and visionary practices are driving progress towards sustainable innovations. We explore this through five key subtopics, offering insights into groundbreaking solutions and strategies that are shaping a more resilient future. Our areas of interest include the challenges of implementing circular economy, the reality of AI-driven productivity versus its hype, the opportunities and risks of food security in the age of advanced engineering, the unseen challenges of urban resilience, and the dynamic between ambition and practical constraints in the entrepreneurship paradox. Join us as we delve into these critical areas in Switzerland and Northern America and uncover how innovation is paving the way for a sustainable tomorrow.The Struggle Between Theory and Feasibility.
