Water scarcity, food insecurity, and wasteful textile supply chains are major societal challenges with no easy solutions. But some of the nation's leading scientists, researchers, innovators, and entrepreneurs are committed to tackling these problems.

In Season 7 of Ecosystems for Change, I’m going to introduce you to nine different innovation ecosystems who are solving some of our most pressing societal issues in real-time.

With help from The Builder Platform, I'm taking you inside the ecosystems working to develop real-world solutions to make our communities more resilient, drive regional engagement, and create economic opportunity along the way.

You'll learn how these Regional Innovation Engines build ecosystems grounded in research and innovation. You'll see firsthand how these pioneers help turn ideas into practical applications that can benefit millions of people in the US and beyond.

Innovation in a box doesn’t work. In this season, we’ll find out what does.
