🚀 Swedish Export Credit Agency on the Complexities of Green Tech Ambitions 🚀 "The green transition is also about managing risks," says Karin Wessman, Head of Sustainability at EKN Exportkreditnämnden (the Swedish Export Credit Agency). In her recent panel at TECHARENA ZERO, Karin addressed the challenges green tech companies face amidst a global push for sustainability. As the Swedish Export Credit Agency, we support export companies with risk management and financing solutions. Our green credit guarantees are one such initiative, designed to propel sustainable innovation from Sweden into the global market. Karin's message is clear: while Swedish companies are leaders in technology and sustainability, transitioning on such a scale comes with natural setbacks. It’s a transformative journey, and like all major shifts, it’s crucial to have a strategy that anticipates obstacles. 📢 Read more about how EKN is committed to backing green exports from Sweden and why having a “Plan B” is essential in a world shifting towards sustainability. #GreenTransition #Sustainability #RiskManagement #EKN #TecharenaZERO #exports 👉 Click through and read (and watch!) the interview with Karin.

➡ KI’s Insights from Impact CEE'24 This week at the Impact CEE'24 in Poznań, a gathering dedicated to driving technological advancement and enhancing business competitiveness in Central Europe, KULCZYK INVESTMENTS S.A. actively participated in shaping pivotal discussions. As part of our commitment to fostering innovation, our CEO, Dawid Jakubowicz, shared his insights as a panelist in the debate chaired by Grzegorz Nawacki, focused on the "Global Race of Central European Companies." Dawid highlighted the adaptive nature of Polish companies: "We Poles are accustomed to constant change and adaptation. Our agility extends from navigating bureaucracy to competing internationally with a well-trained managerial team, showcasing why we boast some of the best teams globally." In response to what Poland needs to catch up with the world, Dawid noted: "Poland requires more robust infrastructure to fully leverage new technologies and AI, due to the immense data these technologies manage. At Kulczyk Investments, we've strategically invested in Beyond.pl, a top-tier, green-energy powered data center in Europe, enabling us to rapidly upscale and integrate new technologies." On the influence of AI Dawid stressed the importance of smart adaptation and deploying home-grown technologies. BaseLinker, within KI’s portfolio, is a great example of a company setting new standards in online trade, exemplifying innovation made in Poland.

Together with Nordic Innovation House - Silicon Valley, Innovation Centre Denmark Silicon Valley brought together individuals, ideas, and capital in a consortium to push the green transition forward. We invited stakeholders from various sectors to share insights, forge partnerships, and explore opportunities within the realm of sustainable development. The event stands as an example of the power of collective action! 🤝 After the dust had settled, Senior Innovation Advisor Daiana Fobian Nielsen Davis from ICDK SV took time to reflect on the summit: 🌠 "The importance of these events is incomparable. It is inspiring to see so many initiatives and the level of motivation toward a sustainable future. In the Nordic countries, collaboration and inclusion are key components in our position as frontrunners in the green agenda, and Bifrost is an outstanding example of this. I’m excited to continue the strong collaboration between the Nordics towards a brighter future!" As we look back on the week, we're reminded of the journey ahead.
