If you could choose between breakthrough innovations that could fundamentally change the world for the better, which one would you choose - and how can we ensure better metrics for better investments?

While wealth may be on the rise - so are sea levels, air pollution, cancer rates, and mental health disorders. Despite continued economic growth, it seems we sometimes fail to convert our wealth into wellbeing. So, where should we invest our resources to improve quality of life?

This special episode of TOA ON AIR, in collaboration with Leaps by Bayer, was joined by Meik Wiking, CEO of The Happiness Research Institute, Agate Freimane, General Partner at Norrsken VC, Europe's largest impact venture capital fund and moderator Britt Wray, broadcaster and author of “Rise of the Necrofauna: The Science, Ethics and Risks of De-Extinction”. 

Together, we explored ways to quantify impact investing that will drive better outcomes for people and the planet.
