Restart Together, ricomporre i sistemi produttivi per un futuro resiliente e sostenibile

Dear ecoSurge Friends and Colleagues,

The impact of covid-19 on our produc>ve and social systems is unprecedented. We are at a turning point and are given the opportunity to reconsider our priori>es and learn from past mistakes to relaunch our businesses in line with a sustainable transforma>on. We believe that digital and business innova>on, along with ac>ve cross- community coopera>on - ecoSurge pillars - are key elements to tackle today's crisis.


I’m pleased to invite you to join Restart Together, our “ac>on-oriented think-tank” to reflect on how to face today's crisis and pave the way for a “new phase” towards a sustainable transforma>on through innova>on and ac>ve coopera>on. We'll start with these ac>vi>es.

• A forum (click here to join) to share insights on key elements to face today's crisis, and then later split into focus subgroups (e.g., Plas>c, Energy, Water) that will lead to the iden>fica>on of new projects.

• A monthly panel discussion with interna>onal experts (i.e., on coopera>on in >mes of pandemic, on the (new) role of digital technologies);

• A monthly webinar on inspiring business stories presented by the protagonists, followed by a discussion.

The logo of Restart Together shows a dynamic movement made of two interlinked parts: Give and Receive. They are as natural as our breath - inhale and exhale - although our culture makes us focus more on what we receive.

Only through win-win coopera>on we will be able to face today's challenges. Below is more about what you are expected to receive and give.

•

Receive: You’ll be part of an interna>onal and interdisciplinary innova>ve community focused on iden>fying together new business ideas in line with a sustainable transforma>on (e.g., funded projects, joint products).

• Give: On the form you need to fill in to join (click here), you are asked to iden>fy your contribu>on to the community (e.g., sharing exper>se, a project outcome, a methodology, your network). This will help work collec>vely towards new project ideas!

We decided to offer these ac>vi>es free-of-charge to facilitate companies that are facing a difficult >me, but we count on your support in the way you prefer as our work is not yet financially supported (e.g., organiza>onal, business or financial support).

You are welcome to forward the invita>on to colleagues with an innova>ve mindset who are truly engaged in sustainability and interested in interdisciplinary collabora>ons.

I look forward to seeing you to generate produc>ve ideas for this endeavour! 


Best regards,

Daniela Tulone
