Entrepreneurship and innovation are the real source of natural job growth in any economy. During four years of research Gunter Pauli has identified a portfolio of 100 innovations including whole systems models that have the potential to generate as many as 100 million jobs worldwide over the next 10 years. Pauli’s ideas do not require government bailout or add to the world’s ecological burden. Rather he speaks of business models shift that build social capital and generate higher levels of competitiveness and sustainability, while requiring less investment and more revenues. Based on processes that cascade nutrients and energy the way nature does, he envisions a Blue Economy that opens possibilities for a new generation of entrepreneurs who use what is available to sustainably address the needs of the Earth and all its citizens. A Fellow of the Academy and Member of the Club of Rome, Pauli is an entrepreneur who has founded 10 companies pioneering environmentally friendly technologies. Gunter Pauli bio
