Jobs in Nature-inspired Innovation

Subscribe for new roles and industry insights - here.

Hello,

In my previous Disrupt Dispatches, I’ve examined technical competencies and knowledge areas for work in the nature-inspired solutions space. So, what technical proficiencies are required based on the industrial roles?

Based on the data, you will require high levels of software skills (e.g., CAD software, data analysis tools, programming languages, simulation software), industry-specific technologies (e.g., 3D printing, robotics platforms, AI/ML frameworks, renewable energy systems), and data analysis and visualisation (e.g., statistical software, big data tools, GIS).

I hope you are enjoying summer break in the northern hemisphere and cooler weather in the southern hemisphere.

Until next time,

Richard
