Welcome to the Future

Innovative solutions are emerging to reduce carbon footprints and support the transition to green energy. In this edition of our Interviews with Experts series, we delve into a pioneering approach to renewable energy with Doris Hafenbradl, Managing Director and CTO of Electrochaea.

As the demand for renewable energy continues to rise, solar power has emerged as a key player in the global energy transition. With advancements in technology and decreasing costs, solar solutions are becoming more accessible and widespread.

Urban agriculture plays a crucial role in addressing the challenges of modern city life. As urban populations grow, the demand for fresh, locally sourced food becomes more pressing. By bringing food production closer to consumers, urban farms reduce the carbon footprint associated with transporting food over long distances and enhance food security in densely populated areas.

In this episode of Supertrends Interviews, we delve into the fascinating world of biotechnology with Stefano Bertacchi, an assistant professor at the University of Milano-Bicocca and an active science communicator, appointed by the European Commission as EU Bioeconomy Youth Ambassador. Stefano provides an in-depth look at how biotechnology is transforming industries and addressing global challenges. He discusses innovations in microbial production, the ethical implications of biotechnological advancements, and the evolving landscape of the bioeconomy.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents one of the most pressing challenges in global health today, as pathogens evolve to outsmart our most effective treatments. AMR occurs when microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites develop the ability to resist the effects of drugs that once killed them or inhibited their growth.

Stefano Bertacchi, PhD, an industrial biotechnologist, sits down with Supertrends founder, Lars Tvede to discuss the wonderful world of biotechnology. Biotechnology covers many processes such as food production and vaccine technology. With such a broad scope, your life is affected daily by this sector, often without even realizing it.
