Amidst the urgent call of our planet's distress and a world shaped by rapid advancement in AI & technology, Karel champions a mission that tugs at the heartstrings — to recode innovation for a planet-centric future.
My dedication is to reverse humanity's ecological impact by reshaping design and innovation for regeneration & circularity. I envision a future where our actions not only benefit humanity but nurture the global ecosystem, leading to a more livable planet for all life forms and for generations.
As the founder of INDEED Innovation I thrive on challenging conventional thinking and exploring untapped potentials. I'm an innovation rebel, entrepreneur, advisor, investor, international speaker, and visionary—committed to transforming any business towards sustainable circularity and humane innovation.
I believe in turning bold ideas into reality, emphasizing that true innovation lies in tangible, successful outcomes aligned with the planetary boundaries. My work focuses on reshaping business practices, that eliminate the concept of waste, regenerate natural resources, keep materials & products in loops and foster the adoption of circular business models.
To build a more beautiful future, we have to recode innovation. It's not just about ideas; it's about real-world impact. My latest project, “10 moral Questions, How to design tech & AI responsibly” co-authored with Eva Simone Lihotzky, Shannon Mullen O’Keefe, Adriana Nugter, and Winnie So urges a shift towards innovations that prioritize the well-being of our entire ecosystem. It emphasizes inclusive decision-making, advocating for collaborative dialogue and moral considerations that encompass diverse perspectives and values. It ultimately aims to inspire readers to engage in meaningful discussions, shaping a more inclusive and morally conscious future for everyone.
Other work in clude 'The AI Toolbook,' co-authored with Michael Leitl and Alessandro Brandolisio, it aims to democratize AI literacy, empowering individuals to leverage technology for climate action and sustainability goals.
Join me in reshaping the future through actionable innovation and genuine impact.
