Building The Impossible with Jocelyn Houle

Business EN ↓ 5 episodes

This podcast is for technical and scientific founders in Data, Energy, Defense, Agriculture, Aerospace, and Deep Tech who want to turn new ideas into reality. The AI-innovation cycle doesn't use the old rules to scale, so how will really big ideas move from lab to launch to full diffusion? From bio-inspired drones mimicking insect movement, to quantum computing breakthroughs and climate tech moonshots; we help scientific founders, buyers, investors and regulators collaborate to source scalable ideas, go to market, and think through impossible ideas with clear frameworks.
