Sometimes, reality overcomes imagination. Whilst waiting for your flight, at Chicago O’Hare Airport, you sip a beer at one of the tables of Goose Island Brewery and order a dish of Blackened Jerk Chicken. You may not realise it, but in that moment just before boarding, you will have taken a significant journey and crossed the path of thousands of others, all while staying comfortably seated at the table. But how? Because it is by no coincidence that this dish of Jamaican flavours has been included on the menu - it was chosen from among many others.
The entire morning will be devoted to the topics of Sustainability and Innovation, at Coca Cola pavilion. Here, after a visit of the pavilion and a presentation of Coca Cola’s sustainability initiatives, guests will be invited to a small exhibition of start-ups, active in sustainable and second life projects.
