Celebrating ChangeMakers: Insights from the Green Awards Jury Meeting 🏆🌿 Today in Berlin, I had the opportunity to participate in the annual #GreenAwards jury meeting, where we recognized the innovators driving #sustainability forward. Established in 2008, these awards highlight those making a tangible impact on the green transformation. From startups to established companies, the nominees we reviewed presented a variety of approaches to combating #climatechange. We discussed the different avenues for accelerating change: #activism, #law, #regulation, #behaviorchange, and of course #GreenTech. While each plays a crucial role, none alone can achieve the transformation we need. It's through collaboration that we truly advance towards a sustainable future. We evaluated the contributions of young changemakers, pioneers, StartUps and leading companies shaping a greener, more sustainable world. The discussions with fellow jury members were enlightening, and I left feeling inspired and eager to continue our green path. Hats off to all nominees! The winners will be announced on May 15, 2024, at the GREENTECH FESTIVAL in Berlin.

Greencode Ventures at Sweden Innovation Days Had the great pleasure to take part in a panel discussion at the #SwedenInnovationDays, a great initiative by the #SwedishEnergyAgency, #Vinnova, #SwedishIncubatorsandScienceParks, #BusinessSweden and #Formas aiming to connect innovation actors from around the world to foster partnerships in order to contribute to the Global Sustainability Goals. Three highlights from the discussion on sustainable investments: 💡 Sustainable investments - risks and returns: one major risk we perceive is the waning political commitment compared to just a few years ago. This may slow down the green transition initiatives and investments that the industry, the transportation and the green energy sectors so badly need. Regarding returns, we anticipate financial outcomes on par with or exceeding those of other sectors, given the urgency for disruptive green transition solutions in the decades. 💡 Startups play an important role to increase the innovation level in more mature industries towards sustainable products and services, they bring in the startup disruptive mindset, challenging status quo. Going forward we need more industry - start-up -academia partnerships, with clear metrics for success. 💡 To ensure that capital gets deployed to maximise green transition, the cost of not being sustainable needs to increase. As soon as we have a price on for example carbon, we see a greater appetite to invest in low emission solutions. Also, we need regulations that take a holistic perspective on sustainability, so that we do not drive investments that look good, but those that can make a real impact. For this we need transparency and comparable reporting. I was joined in the discussion by @ErikaSundell from Polarium and @JulesBesnainou from Cleantech for Europe. A big thank you for the having the pleasure to join the panel discussion, to the excellent moderator @BeataWickbom and to the organisers for the great event.
