Colleagues,
Innovation North's final speakers for the first half of 2026 on systems innovation are Indy Johar and Adam Purvis of Dark Matter Labs.
Dark Matter Labs is focused on the great transitions our societies need to respond to the technological revolution and climate breakdown we face.
In this session, Indy and Adam will join Tima Bansal to explore what it takes to build organizations and institutions that can adapt to multiple futures - not by predicting what's coming, but by contributing to what they call "civilizational optionality." Their work spans food, housing, land, and nature systems, and they partner with organizations around the world, including the UNDP, the EU, and the Scottish Government. The conversation will move from the existential to the practical work of redesigning the rules, contracts, investment models, and governance systems that shape our world.
The event will take place online on April 8 from 10:00-11:00 AM EST.
