What does it mean to be a disruptive innovator?

How can humans drive forward new ideas into uncertain territory?

In this talk, Emily Clements, a neuroscientist focusing on the science of entrepreneurship, will cover how our brains come up with new ideas, the mechanisms that come into play when going against the grain, and how to alleviate the uncertainty that comes with being a disruptor.

Speaker:

Emily Clements is a neuroscientist and PhD candidate in neuroimaging, focusing on the research in Neuroscience of Entrepreneurship in Kings College London. Emily has a background in cognitive neuroscience and utilizing computational models to better understand peoples decision-making processes. Kings College launched its first ever collaboration between the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience and the Entrepreneurship Institute over a five-year-study. Meaning Emily is going to scan the brains of entrepreneurs, figure out how they think, and whether she can use these insights to help everyone become more entrepreneurial.

The Festival of Disruptive Thinking showcases how disruptive thinking and innovative ideas can challenge the status quo and create better and bolder solutions in any sector, industry or discipline.

From stem cell TikTok to Nicolas Cage as a cybersecurity icon, from shipping container biotech labs to how to sue for climate action, from inclusive innovation and decolonising universities.
