Join us for an insightful fireside chat with Maximilian Werner, founder of INSPIRED, as we explore how true innovation starts at the root by tackling global challenges through systems thinking, bold creativity, and purpose-driven leadership.
In an age where surface-level solutions dominate, the real breakthroughs come from those daring to go deeper addressing problems at their root rather than treating symptoms.
Maximilian brings a unique lens from the intersection of design, impact, and business having helped brands and ventures unlock their potential through purposeful creativity.
In this fireside chat, we'll dive into:
Why solving systemic challenges requires a shift from quick fixes to foundational thinking
How design and innovation can serve as tools for regeneration and social change
The art of building ventures that combine aesthetic excellence with deep impact
How Inspired works with organizations to realign their mission, model, and messaging
Lessons from the creative process of turning complex global issues into actionable solutions
The future of entrepreneurship: values-driven, vision-led, and rooted in systems change
Whether you're a founder looking to build meaningful ventures, an investor focused on regenerative innovation, or a creative curious about impact at scale this conversation will spark ideas and shift perspectives.
The discussion will be moderated by Naimul Abd – Regional Director Nordics at Startup Grind, CEO at Connect East, CEO at SweBAN, Nordic Head for Founder Institute, Nutty Ventures, and Founders Live, and founder of Brim – Brands for Impact.
