Radical Collaboration

Join us for the first conversation in our Radical Collaboration series. This series will elevate stories of partners coming together in unconventional ways to solve for critical issues and drive impact. We’ll highlight examples that inspire and offer insights, tools, and ideas where market-based solutions are busting open silos and working across sectors in new ways. Our first conversation comes as a rapid response to the coronavirus pandemic out of Baltimore, Maryland. We will hear about a collective filling the void of personal protective equipment (PPE) in hospitals by 3D printing masks. Join a conversation with makers, social enterprises, a workforce development program, an ecosystem builder and funder about how one community is rapidly re-designing to meet the needs of PPE shortage and re-create jobs. We will hear about the process the group used to get started and how it has evolved. The conversation will highlight the importance of makers and artists, and the urgent role of funding at this critical time.
