How can new imaginaries help shape a more sustainable future? How can they generate concrete actions? What is the role of designers, artists and economic actors in the face of ecological, social and economic upheavals? What solutions can be found collectively? Emma Piau and Alban Mayne will open a dialogue around these questions, drawing on their combined experiences.

He holds a Certificate in Business Sustainability Management from the University of Cambridge, an MBA in General Management from Northwood University and a BBA in Marketing from SKEMA Business School.
