Inspiring inventors – Join the conversation with Carmen Hijosa

 

Carmen Hijosa has an inspiring story to share: At 60, she began her PhD and established a new textile company that uses pineapple leaves to produce a vegan alternative to leather. Today, her business is thriving, the material is sought after by global fashion brands and the leaves, which are a by-product of pineapple harvesting in the Philippines, offer an additional income stream to farmers while using an otherwise discarded resource.

Join the Spanish inventor and social entrepreneur for an inspiring talk on inventing and the role patents in growing a business.

Date: Thursday, 13 October 2022
