01

Talks on regenerative tourism.

What if visiting a place could also help it recover?

Regenerative tourism invites us to rethink the relationship between those who visit a territory and those who live in it and care for it. A talk on how to move from reducing impact to supporting the recovery of ecosystems and the wellbeing of local communities.

Drawing on his experience with The NeverRest Project, Frédéric explores the role of data, technology and visitor participation in protected natural environments, placing the needs of each place at the center.

Topics that can be covered

  • Financing conservation Turning tourism activity into resources that remain and generate value in the territory.
  • Balance between tourism and territory Managing tourism pressure by reconciling visitors, communities, the local economy and conservation.
  • Visitor participation Moving from a tourist who consumes the destination to a visitor who also helps care for it.
  • Measuring impact Using data, technology and traceability to assess results and move from intentions to real impact.
Aimed at: Tourism congresses, institutions, destination and protected area managers, tourism companies and sustainability forums.Ask about a talk on regenerative tourism

Artificial intelligence applied to impact projects

AI to understand, decide and act.

Artificial intelligence opens up enormous possibilities, but its true value appears when it is applied to concrete needs. Scattered data, complex problems and difficult decisions can be approached differently when technology, knowledge and purpose work together.

Topics that can be covered

  • AI applied to real problems Using artificial intelligence based on need and purpose, not on the tool or the trend.
  • Data that helps decide Turning large volumes of information into useful knowledge to understand problems, anticipate scenarios and make better decisions.
  • Technology to measure and generate impact Applying AI, data and digital tools to measure, track and improve the impact of environmental and social projects.
  • From technological potential to real application Integrating technology, strategy and human knowledge to turn new possibilities into viable, scalable solutions.
Aimed at: Innovation, product and management teams, entrepreneurs, institutions and technology forums.Ask about a talk on technology and innovation

Environmental innovation and partnerships.

The great environmental challenges are not solved alone.

Environmental challenges rarely belong to a single organization. Administrations, companies, foundations, communities, scientists and technology have different capabilities and, often, different interests as well.

Drawing on experiences developed in different territories, Frédéric addresses how to build partnerships capable of turning an environmental need into a shared project, connecting knowledge, resources, innovation and execution capacity.

Topics that can be covered

  • Partnerships to tackle environmental challenges Connecting institutions, companies, communities and knowledge around a common goal.
  • Innovation applied to the territory Designing solutions based on the needs and particularities of each place, avoiding models imposed from outside.
  • Public-private collaboration with purpose Exploring how to combine different capabilities, resources and interests to generate environmental impact.
  • From isolated projects to replicable models Learning from local experiences to develop solutions that can be adapted to other territories.
Aimed at: Sustainability, innovation and strategy teams, institutions, destination managers and data and technology gatherings.Ask about a talk on data and impact

Talks on creativity to adapt and open new paths.

What if the first step were to change the question?

We are living through a moment of profound transformation that is changing professions, models and ways of understanding work. Adapting means being able to imagine new paths, make the most of what we have learned and find a purpose that gives meaning to what we do.

Drawing on a personal story of reinvention, Frédéric shares how creativity, experience and purpose can help us face change, find new opportunities and build our next professional path.

Topics that can be covered

  • Reinventing yourself professionally Finding new paths by drawing on the experience and capabilities we have already built.
  • Creativity to adapt to change Using creative thinking to discover alternatives when familiar rules and models change.
  • Purpose and meaning Identifying what drives us and using it as a guide to decide where we want to move forward.
  • Turning uncertainty into opportunity Facing moments of transformation as an opportunity to learn, evolve and build a new stage.
Aimed at: Management, marketing, communication and innovation teams, HR departments, as well as universities and creative gatherings.Ask about a talk on creativity and transformation
