Michal Porter: Innovating Sustainable Shelter Technologies at DuPont

Episode Summary

Dupont is a leading producer of many of the materials and products that go into building residential and commercial buildings. Many of those materials have had a significant environmental footprint, something the hundreds of researchers and engineers at Dupont are hard at work improving. Dr. Michal Porter walks through how they go about doing that - a fascinating look at how a really large entity like Dupont can innovate at a scale that smaller players cannot, because they operate at that scale already.
