Mario Fleurinck (41), CEO Melotte & Founder of InnoCrowd, is a passionate serial entrepreneur with focus on the development of sustainable "material growth" manufacturing technologies aiming to create business models that go far beyond economic globalization. He strongly believes in a sustainable, human-centric society based on a holistic interconnected approach. Optimal energy use, unlimited creativity in design, efficient material resources management and minimum land-use are key elements in achieving his goal. He rolls out his business model internationally and creates a Web 3.0 digital manufacturing cluster where transport of physical products will be excluded in order to create precious local employment.

RI recently sat down with ecosystem restoration researcher John D. Liu. Liu explains that when humans work with nature, degraded landscapes can be restored in a matter of years, and economies can be regenerated, putting food security and climate change mitigation within our reach.
