Time is running out. Let’s work together to turn the future of Europe around! ⌛️ In the newest edition of POLITICO, European business leaders are calling for action to accelerate efforts to support biosolutions innovation and other sustainable answers to major challenges and avoid falling behind other parts of the world. Our CEO Ester Baiget is among them:  “We need regulation based on the future, not the past. Biosolutions for a healthier planet and healthier lives are already here. We need regulations for the future to ensure the speed and scalability of these green and sustainable solutions and to strengthen Europe’s competitiveness,” she says.  Ester is quoted alongside CEO Lars Fruergaard Jørgensen from Novo Nordisk, CEO Vincent Clerc from A.P. Moller - Maersk and CEO Kim Fausing from Danfoss in the piece by Danish Industry. There is still hope for Europe. The talent, the resources and the historical commitment to lead the world in sustainable innovation is there. Now, we must work together to accelerate the efforts in updating regulatory frameworks to better support biosolutions innovation. This requires simplifying the process for bringing the products and technologies to the European market, enhancing funding for research and scaling and creating awareness of the potential of biosolutions.

In 1992, Francis Fukuyama famously declared the “End of History” in response to somehow unexpected fall of communism. His book gained widespread attention, but over the past 30+ years history has proven him wrong. The world is far from static; it’s disturbed and evolving. Now, there’s a growing urge to bid farewell to capitalism. But let’s not rush to bury it - instead, let’s recognize that change is inevitable. Capitalism must adapt to the times, addressing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns. 🗓️ Save the Date: Tuesday, May 21st, at Noon 📍 Venue: Warsaw Sheraton Hotel 🎙️ Panel Discussion: “Sustainable Capitalism: Navigating Change” moderated by Boleslaw Rok, Professor at Kozminski University, Department of Entrepreneurship and Business Ethics.

A great forum to hear different opinions and discussions from Private and Public Organizations. The biggest challege idetified? - Mindset of people - Sparking conversation between Private Sector and Government We must be prepared to accept the new reality and take delicate steps towards changing how-we-think about the Environment and put the idea of a sustainable business model in the Core of every Organization. But also - what will be the cost? And who will be able to afford it? - Is the EU Framework facilitating or suffocating the change? As former US Secretary and 1st Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry discuss on the Green Transition 4.0 - yesterday - in relation to “The Cost of going Green” - we must win this battle for the future, and we will! #GoGreen with Gopet!

🌍 We are thrilled to share the news that our CEO, Peep Siitam, has been elected as a deputy board member of the Climate Leadership Coalition🎉 Many European countries, including Estonia, are facing significant challenges: the decline or loss of traditional competitive advantages and a strong dependence on global commodity markets. To enhance business competitiveness, we need a new level of collaboration in developing innovative products and services. CLC primarily brings together leading Nordic companies and municipalities to build climate-resilient business models and globally competitive enterprises. New business models often emerge at the intersections of existing industries, connecting companies across different fields and countries. This aligns perfectly with Zero Terrain’s core: sustainability, innovation, and action that drive the future forward. We believe deepening Nordic-Baltic cooperation is the key to unlocking new opportunities—both in achieving our goals and enhancing the region’s competitiveness. Climate Leadership Coalition provides an excellent platform to make this vision a reality. #ZeroTerrain #Sustainability #Collaboration #ClimateLeadership #Innovation
