AND is the Future, hosted by Ilham Kadri, Special Advisor of Syensqo, brings together great minds to explore how businesses can be both sustainable AND profitable through innovation and science.

The best leaders practice the power of AND. To us, this means embracing ideas and behaviors that others might perceive as opposite or in conflict. 

Leaders who are daring AND caring. 

Leaders who are guided by science AND deeply human. 

Leaders who are strong AND show vulnerability. 

Leaders who focus on profitability AND sustainability with equal importance. 

The power of AND is about believing in and embracing both. In And is the Future, Ilham sits down with great thought leaders and inspirational minds across the globe to discuss some of the most important issues facing businesses today.
