GSI (Global Sustainability Index)’s Post

We had an important conversation at yesterday's Coffee Hour about green tech platforms and initiatives. Three takeaways: * Private business has to do more, with only 5% of global corporate philanthropic funding directed towards climate and nature-related theme * StarCIO Digital Trailblazer Experts recommend selecting green initiatives in mature areas/platforms, such as cloud and facilities management. One report states that 28% of cloud spend is cloud waste, a $1M —$7M yearly savings opportunity. * While Digital Trailblazers may not be able to directly influence corporate strategy, consider including green objectives in department missions, charters, and yearly plans. Our next Coffee Hour is on Oct 11 at 11am ET on, AI Era Transformation: The Future of Work With AI Agents.

This shift not only threatens technological progress made globally but also makes it increasingly difficult to build the collaborative networks that are vital for innovation, especially in industries like manufacturing and technology, where cross-border partnerships are key. When political forces limit collaboration or see it as a threat, industries and the society risk losing out on the opportunities that arise from working together across borders. As Europe faces these political challenges, it’s more important than ever to foster spaces where collaboration is not just encouraged but actively cultivated. That’s why I’m proud to be part of an initiative, Leading Lights®, that actively works against this growing political divide and seeks to unite Europe through positive, forward-thinking action. EIT Manufacturing North's flagship event, Leading Lights 2025 will take place in 𝗖𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟰-𝟱. The event brings together industry leaders, innovators, and experts to explore how Europe can elevate its manufacturing sector by focusing on sustainability and embracing the circular economy.

Kongres Nowej Mobilności | New Mobility Congress - the largest e-mobility event in the CEE region - took place from 24 to 26 September. Of course we couldn't miss the place where trends are set! The congress has been held since 2019. It is a unique platform for key organizations and institutions of the zero-emission transport technology sector to exchange knowledge, experience and ideas. Marcin Zasuń, together with our colleagues from Groupe CAT CEE Roman Żukowski and Michal Weralski, checked in to see what's currently “on tap.” It turns out that there are still a lot of threads and inspiration, but also questions about the future of electromobility as we observe some slowing down of trends.
