SUMMARY:Next Economy Conversations: Marcos Igreja of Genecis
DESCRIPTION:As we look to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, we know that now, more than ever, we cannot go back to the way things were. From the climate crisis to deep social inequalities, the challenges of our time require us to build the Next Economy – one that is sustainable, equitable, and prosperous for all.\nNext Economy Conversations, the Centre for Social Innovation’s monthly event series, is your chance to hear from incredible leaders helping to build this Next Economy. Learn about their work as well as their personal journeys, learnings, and visions for the future.\nOn Thursday November 19, Tonya Surman, CEO of the Centre for Social Innovation, will sit down (virtually, of course!) with Marcos Igreja, Associate Director of Engineering and Operations at Genecis.\nGenecis is a cleantech company on a mission to drive our world towards a circular economy where major brands utilize eco-friendly PHA plastics in packaging, food services, agriculture, textiles and many other areas to reduce the 18 billion pounds of plastic polluting our oceans every year. Genecis’ biological processes convert food waste destined for landfill into biodegradable plastics and other valuable materials.\nPlease note that we’ll use Zoom to connect. Check the Eventbrite order confirmation email for the Zoom webinar link. Don’t see an email from us? Check your spam folder in case it ended up there. Otherwise, email us at info@socialinnovation.ca.\nAbout our guest, Marcos Igreja\nMarcos Igreja holds a B.Eng in Bioresource Engineering from McGill University. He has been with Genecis since its inception, leading efforts to scale-up the core technology, strategic planning, and building up the team. He has won awards including in bioreactor design and technical entrepreneurship. His past experience across Brazil, Hong Kong, and Canada, includes agricultural waste treatment, fermentation engineering, energy management, and technical consulting for start-ups.\nAbout our host, Tonya Surman\nTonya Surman is fuelled by her belief in the power of collaboration and belonging. She knows that putting the right people in a room is only the first step in creating real change. You also need to build a culture where everyone knows that they have value and a voice to radically redesign our futures. She did this with the Centre for Social Innovation, which re-invented the workplace by collecting social purpose organizations under one roof. And it’s what she is doing with CSI’s affiliate charity, the Centre for Social Innovation Institute and Social Innovation Canada,  unlocking the social innovation community to get at the root causes of problems. She knows building relationships between people is the foundation for a better world. It’s also a heck of a lot of fun!\nPlease note that we’ll use Zoom to connect. Details will be sent to confirmed registrants via email before the event.\nAbout our Title Sponsor, Fiix\nFiix is the easiest way to plan, track, and optimize maintenance. We’re the first open CMMS platform that mixes innovative technology with a focus on partnering with customers to help them organize assets, manage work, connect to business systems, and make data driven decisions.
