Broadly speaking, the #globaldevelopment field has made substantive progress in channeling more resources toward local organizations, change agents and governments — but a fundamentally fragmented and siloed ecosystem remains one of the most significant challenges to impactful, sustained results. We know #localization is the future. And how we enable it matters. 💪 To be truly successful, the development landscape must find greater coordination and alignment. That's why I'm so proud of the work we do at Results for Development: We are more than "doers," we are connectors and facilitators. We're driving collaboration and learning in our field and finding ways to bring various actors together for stronger, more enduring outcomes. In short, we see ourselves as an ecosystem catalyst. ⚙️ Our CEO Gina Lagomarsino lays out a vision for the #INGO of the future in this new blog and calls on funders to dedicate more resources to these connector roles. We know they make a difference — we have the evidence! It was a pleasure to partner with Gina on this piece, and I hope you'll carve out some time to read, reflect and share your ideas and feedback. 💡 #internationaldevelopment #locallyleddevelopment #globalhealth

After exploring the startup world with a few businesses, and after succeeding after two years as FiBAN’s Communications Manager, I’ve now become COO! 🥳 A big thanks to Tiina Laisi-Puheloinen for believing in me. :) My journey to this point has been anything but a straight line. My career first started learning PR, social media, and crowdfunding secrets by working for a very ambitious film company with a big vision, Iron Sky Universe. I still think that’s the kind of thinking that should be in the Finnish cultural landscape. Crazy big vision with the ambition to take it beyond this little country. I am still very grateful for that experience and it had a big impact on me. And that’s the spirit that I ended up way later finding more in the startup sector. Later, I was part of co-founding some crazy ventures and some of my own. 🎙️A fun fact: I started my own small business at 24, alongside my studies — because why not? It was a storytelling open mic club that ran for around 2 years in Turku, first every month, then every 2 months and then less because I ran out of stories to tell and it was a lot of work to kick the audience in the butt to tempt them coming on stage. Sometimes it worked and some amazing sharing was heard, and sometimes I had to spill the tea about my life to the whole town to fill the empty moments on stage. I’ve shared some funny, weird, scary, embarrassing, and very personal things there on stage. I can tell you that sharing is a bit of a challenge for Finns.🤯 They (Us, We) have a lot of cool stories to share but don’t realize they have something unique and that no one may have experienced the same as them. But we keep these little story gems mostly to ourselves, which is a shame. I guess that goes for this startup sector too. Nesting your business idea and hoping that someone asks what it’s about. I do that too, like this little piece of story here that I kept for myself and a few friends for a long time. With a Master’s in Media Studies, I'm probably one of the few humanities folks in startup finance (please report to me if you’re one of them!) 🙌 Looking forward to this next chapter at FiBAN, where my focus is on helping the community, including investors and startups, thrive even better (together with an ace team!) 🎬In media studies, the term cliffhanger was used describing a moment in film/ TV when you give a little bit of something juicy but leave the viewer “hanging”. We plan to release a bit of a more in-depth look at my path through the startup world because it’s quite a peculiar one all in all, so stay tuned! 😁

🌟 Event Recap: TANGO First Exploitation Workshop - 10th October 2024 🌟 Yesterday, we successfully hosted the first exploitation workshop for the #TANGO_Project! 🎉 It was an engaging and productive online session, focused on Exploitation in EU Funded Projects, where all partners came together to explore ways to maximize the impact of TANGO’s project results. 🔑 Key topics covered: Understanding Exploitation: What it means, how it differs from dissemination, and the roles each partner plays in ensuring successful exploitation. We have touched upon Key Project Results (KERs), including the TANGO applications developed for our 4 case studies. And discussed exploring commercial opportunities for technologies developed during the project. 🚀 Next Steps: The real work begins! In the coming months, we’ll organize additional workshops in smaller groups to refine exploitation options for each KER. This is just the beginning of an exciting journey towards market impact and further collaborations! A huge thank you to EIT Digital, leading Exploitation, as well as all our partners for their contributions. Stay tuned for more updates as we move forward with our exploitation strategy! 💼✨ #TANGO #HorizonEurope #Exploitation #Innovation #ResearchToMarket #Collaboration
