TED@DuPont September 2019 | Philadelphia, USA Photo credit: Ryan Lash/TED Transformation starts with the spark of something new. In a day of talks and performances about transformation, speakers and performers from the DuPont community and beyond explored exciting developments in science and technology. From the chemistry of everyday life to innovations in food, “smart” clothing, and more, this inaugural TED@DuPont event unlocked institutional knowledge and showcased some of the best ideas from across the DuPont ecosystem. We’re excited to see how these insights will continue to spark transformation—and ignite new ideas—all around the world. Watch the Talks Event Theme TRANSFORM Distraction, disruption and rapid change define our modern lives. As the world and our interactions grow more complex, so do our challenges. To solve for modern problems, we need a newx framework for innovation itself, one that considers all perspectives and outcomes in the calculus. Our model to truly transform society must be collaborative and transparent, and unfold at scale and speed to exceed the issues we face. Featured Talks Meet the Enzymes Living in Your House Vicky Huang Enzyme scientist Enzymes are far more important to our day-to-day lives than we realize.
