This 4 hour workshop will guide businesses through action-oriented activities that are practical but ambitious, and aimed at catalysing innovations in their deep design. By focusing on the deep design of business, the workshop invites businesses to engage in a transformative agenda of becoming regenerative and distributive in their strategies, operations, and impacts, so that they help to bring humanity into the Doughnut.
The workshop will use the Doughnut Design for Business tool that Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL) have created. It will be co-hosted with DEAL.
Those joining the day should come prepared to think through the most ambitious ideas possible to help humanity thrive within the limits of the living planet. They should also come ready to engage with ways their purpose, networks, governance, ownership and financial parameters can all evolve to unlock such ambitious ideas.
It has never been more important for us to become resilient.
Metabolism has to do with every bit of energy generated in our body, it fuels life and is critical to fuel health, it controls our mood, energy, hormones and our immune system.
When we have a good metabolism it protects us from chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases.
When our metabolism is sick our bodies fall apart.

The second and final Collaborative Research and Development (CR&D) Open Call, led by Digital Catapult, will open for applications on 9 October 2023. The aim of this competition is to support business focused research and innovation in the creative industries in the West of England. Between £100,000 – £200,000 will be awarded to cross-disciplinary projects.
This event will bring together the CreaTech, industry and research communities including those from the academic partners in the project (University of Bristol, University of Bath, UWE, and Bath Spa University) and provide an opportunity to meet with representatives from the MyWorld project, Digital Catapult, and wider programme partners.
Anyone from industry, start-ups or academia looking to apply to the CR&D call, or those interested in finding out more about the MyWorld programme and its expected impact on the region over its five-year duration is encouraged to attend.
The MyWorld CR&D call is delivered by Innovate UK (IUK) using its Innovation Funding Service (IFS) platform. It will open on 9 October 2023, and close on 6 December 2023. Details of the call are available on the IFS site.
How is innovation going to shape creative technology in ten years’ time and how will innovation itself change over that period?
MyWorld & Digital Catapult are bringing together a collection of industry leaders, investors, start-up founders and SMEs to explore this question through a keynote and panel.
We’ll explore emerging technology innovations and trends, such as AI, haptics, immersive, animation, and how they are going to continue to transform creative industries.
We’ll also be looking at what else is happening locally, in the world-leading West of England region, and with a wider lens at a national and international level. We’ll delve into the current and future impact of MyWorld and other national innovation initiatives, and how collaboration and connectedness will be vital to enhance the exploration and adoption of these programmes. We’ll look ahead to forecast innovation within the sector, to discuss the challenges that may arise and to focus on what our key goals should be to ensure we are future-proofing the industry.
We intend for this event to draw out the key conversations around the legacy of existing technologies and their applications in the creative industries. As well as to discuss and lead the conversation on how innovation will change the face of creative technology and how our current understanding of innovation within the space will need to shift to allow the potential of the processes, people and technologies within the sector to flourish.
Speakers to be announced shortly!

What B2B marketers need to know about creating content for the C-suite’ – which features interviews with C-level execs from companies including Groupon International, cardfactory and The Very Group.
Join Rin as she discusses their findings and dives into what they mean for any B2B marketer tasked with engaging a senior leadership audience.
