2020 vision

The start of 2020 has been filled with terrifying images of bushfires burning across Australia. With human lives lost, homes destroyed and a predicted one billion animals killed, it’s an alarming introduction to the new decade.

But with this also comes stories of bravery, community and generosity – and of new thinking and new ways of doing things that can help rebuild. So at Particle we asked, how will these events impact and drive innovation for the future?
