During Jernkontoret´s panel at Almedalen in Sweden, the focus was on sustainability, innovation and demand. How can the Swedish steel industry contribute to the transition and competitiveness? Discussions centered around the shift towards more sustainable production, investments in green technologies, and how global customer demands for low-emission steel have evolved in recent years, influencing strategic decisions within the industry. The role of the government, EU, and international organizations in ensuring the continued competitiveness of the Swedish steel industry was also discussed. Nicolai Schaaf, Sustainability Manager at Kanthal, a part of Alleima, was one of the panel participants highlighting the role of electrifying industrial heating processes as part of the global industrial transformation. "Kanthal helps various sectors, including the steel industry, in electrifying their processes to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. As global industries aim for emission-free value-chains, electrification of industrial heating plays a crucial role.” "Alleima is part of the journey ourselves and already have a high degree of electrification and are now focusing on replacing the remaining combustion processes." Other participants in the panel included Christina Friborg, Head of Sustainability at SSAB, and Niklas Wass, President of the Stainless Europe business line at Outokumpu. Also present were Ida Drougge political party Moderaterna, Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist political party Centerpartiet, Marie Barrling, Head of Sustainability and Communications at the Mellansvenska Handelskammaren (Chamber of Commerce for Central Sweden), and Annika Roos ♦️´s Managing Director Jernkontoret. The panel discussions were moderated by Kristian Ljungblad, Public Affairs Director Jernkontoret.

🌊 Our Senior Investment Manager, YE Xi, Clive, shared the panel with Thomas Knudsen, Principal at Rumah Group & Foundation, at the inaugural Blue Carbon Innovation Studio, hosted by Hatch Blue and in partnership with Idemitsu Americas Holdings Corporation. Held last month, the studio was designed to connect early-stage #bluecarbon innovations with interested businesses, investors and government agencies. Some key takeaways from the session included: 1️⃣ Family offices could be an ideal investor for some of these early-stage innovations, particularly if the companies can pilot with the family businesses. 2️⃣ Business models solely based on carbon credits need to be reevaluated. Companies are encouraged to explore different revenue streams and to demonstrate other co-benefits beyond carbon. 3️⃣ The typical VC mentality of driving top-line growth at the expense of bottom-line might not work in the climate space. Companies should think carefully about unit economics, profitability, and business fundamentals from day one. 🙏 Thank you Hatch Blue and Idemitsu Americas Holdings Corporation for inviting us to be part of this inaugural event!
