Karthik and Anthony tackle the latest releases from Apple – and why the pace of groundbreaking products from tech companies seems to be slowing down, despite the rise of AI as a supposed force for innovation. Plus, Anthony shares his findings from the Advanced Recycling Summit as the hosts wonder if recycling will really ever get done.

The world needs more and better innovation to solve climate, waste, and health problems in an increasingly tumultuous and uncertain world – not just the latest app, gadget, or software, but real deep tech innovation in energy, manufacturing, agrifood, resources, and more.

In this podcast, sustainable innovation experts Anthony Schiavo, Mike Holman, Karthik Subramanian, and Alina Strugut from Lux Research analyze the latest news and interview world-leading experts to navigate the technological, economic, political, and social trends that will determine what innovations succeed or fail.

The opinions expressed are those of the hosts and guests, and do not reflect the views of Lux Research.
