Celebrating Progress: Embracing the Significance of Small Wins As we navigate our journey towards achieving our goals, it is essential to acknowledge and celebrate the progress we make along the way. While monumental milestones are certainly noteworthy, it is often the small, incremental wins that pave the way for greatness. This week, I had the opportunity to celebrate a significant achievement, being a certified agro-product manager, which served as a poignant reminder of the importance of recognizing and honoring every step forward. Through my participation in the Mentorship Accelerator Program with Future Forward Farmers Hub, I am continually shaping my skills and knowledge to become a climate-smart agripreneur. I invite you to share a win you are celebrating this week. Whether it may seem insignificant or monumental, every achievement deserves recognition and acknowledgment. By sharing our successes, we can create a ripple effect of celebration and encouragement that inspires others to continue striving towards their goals. Please share your win in the comments section below. #FutureForwardFarmersHub #MentorshipAcceleratorProgramWithFFFH #CelebrateProgress #AgribusinessJourney

One of our first investments we did in DNV Ventures was in Kezzler - a global leader in advanced digital traceability solutions! ⭐ Since its beginning in 2001, Kezzler has been at the forefront of providing digital ID solutions for connected products, serving leading global brands across diverse industries such as food and beverage, fashion, and pharmaceuticals. Kezzler is pioneering the implementation of digital product passports, which will become a regulatory requirement in the EU from 2026. They are also actively involved in ensuring full traceability of food products under the US FSMA 204 regulation to enhance food safety and enable compliance 🚀 I enjoyed some great discussions together with Kezzler's CEO, Christine Charlotte Akselsen, and Florian Mueller from DNV. Together we explore the strategic alignment and growth opportunities between DNV and Kezzler, highlighting both the collaborative advantages and challenges.

Challenging the conventional wisdom A presentation by Tessa Clarke, Co-Founder & CEO, Olio • Share More, Waste Less Olio is an app tackling the climate crisis by solving the problem of waste in the home & local community. Olio does this by connecting people with their local community so they can give away rather than throw away their spare food and other household items, and lend and borrow instead of buying brand new. They also have over 100,000 volunteers who collect unsold food from local businesses and redistribute it to the community via the Olio app. Olio has grown to over 7 million users in 63 countries and its impact has been widely recognised, most notably by the United Nations who highlighted Olio as a "beacon” for the world, and by Vivatech who awarded Olio "Next European Unicorn".

We have a sizeable chunk of exciting news to share: VLAIO, the cool folks who bring the Flemish government’s innovation ambitions to life, granted Those Vegan Cowboys 3 million euro to help scale up Margaret’s casein production with lightin’ speed 🔥 Subsidies like these are crucial in kickstarting sustainable technologies - see where it took green energy, for instance. We wouldn’t be where we are now on our wild cowless cheese ride, if not for the previous support we were honored to receive, in part from VLAIO. Nor would we be this fast. And every day counts, because cowboy jokes aside, there are lives on stake here. 🐮🐄 You can understand we are a grateful bunch of cowboys: VLAIO’s research subsidy won’t just give our Margaret wings - it will give her jet power! Hats off from the whole team at Those Vegan Cowboys. We promise we won’t spend it all on candy. #vlaio #thosevegancowboys #duurzaamvoedsel #foodinnovation
