Exploring a fusion of biology and modern technology to try and find solutions for environmental issues and climate change. In his talk Nicholas Sykes suggests a paradigm shift to create more sustainable products, processes and systems
Nicholas Sykes is a Project Manager with Highgate Interiors, currently managing the refurbishment of The Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry. He is a Biology Graduate from Exeter University, and has previously taught biology at two prominent English private schools.
The theme for TEDxDubai 2010 is REBOOT. But what does it mean? For the technology addicts, it is a way to prompt a fresh start. Sometimes there is nothing else one can do other than start again.
REBOOT is sometimes forced upon us, so we should celebrate and share the events that prompt a fresh start, the failures that inspire new ventures and the ideas worth spreading from that journey.
When we Reboot we embrace failure and celebrate it as an opportunity to Re-think, Re-start.
