In 2023, Julia Daviy launched an ambitious personal mission: to create one sustainable innovation concept every day for a year. The result? 365 original, actionable ideas spanning circular materials, climate tech, food systems, ethical AI, and beyond.
The challenge culminated in the upcoming book “Imagine Next”—a bold atlas of innovation for a regenerative future. While not completed in 365 consecutive days, the challenge was fulfilled in full by early 2025 and now fuels speaking engagements, venture sourcing, and ecosystem collaborations around the world.
