What if climate solutions don’t scale because we’re designing them the wrong way?
Climate systems are fundamentally different from tech and retail (slower growth, thinner margins, etc.), and require novel strategies to scale and succeed.
In this talk, Bo Zhao (Founder & CEO, Baby Gear Group) challenges conventional assumptions and shares lessons from building a resilient reuse infrastructure, recognized as one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2025.
She examines why focusing locally is not a limitation but a foundation, why distributed models can be faster and more flexible than centralized ones, and how consumer “me-search” reveals the true drivers of adoption. Ultimately, climate solutions only scale when they’re consistently chosen.
This morning boost is meant to spark broader rethinking of how climate business models are designed, to unlock fresh perspectives for building solutions that truly last.
