Alex Deghan, Founding Director of Conservation X Labs, joins me on the podcast at IMCC5 in Kuching, Malaysia. Alex uses Conservation X Labs to create competitions in different parts of the world to put ideas into practice that solve conservation challenges.  He brought his team and some of the best engineers, innovators and entrepreneurs to help solve 5 conservation challenges that face the Ocean. It's a competition (hack-a-thon) with cash prizes for some of the best prototypes created during the 5 day event. I ask him all about the Make For The Planet event and why Conservation X Labs wanted to do it at the International Marine Conservation Congress. Conservation X Labs Twitter Enjoy the Podcast!!!
