    🌟 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱, 𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂! On February 8th, I will be presenting DeCarbonNet at the esteemed Bug Future Show, having been selected as one of the top 10 finalists in the Laqothon challenge (https://lnkd.in/dACXzrw5). As a first for me, it's already a win, especially considering the competitive pool of 440 applications. This track of my journey since coming back to Croatia has been one of passion, dedication, and continuous learning. DeCarbonNet's vision to empower industrial companies to navigate their lowest cost path to decarbonization is a commitment to sustainability - the right way. I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the LAQO and Laqothon team for recognizing the potential and to people who provided their support along the way so far. Collaboration, innovation, and pursuit of making a difference - make a difference. I look forward to sharing our ideas with a wider audience and to the invaluable feedback and insights that will undoubtedly emerge from this experience. #DeCarbonNet #Laqothon #BugFutureShow #Innovation #Sustainability #StartUpJourney #Gratitude // AvantGarde Group // Lumaras

    We are absolutely delighted to see the issuance of the first #Sustainability-Linked Bond in Central Asia for which AvantGarde Group has helped to develop robust sustainability KPIs and Paris-aligned #decarbonisation targets. We look forward to our continued collaboration with AIFC (Astana International Financial Centre) to promote green and sustainable finance in Central Asia!

    📝 The first Sustainability-Linked Bond in Central Asia is set to be issued as part of the ESG Bond Issuance Programme, amounting to up to 236.8 billion tenge on Astana International Exchange - AIX in 2024. An agreement between JSC "Almaty Electric Stations" (AlES) and the Eurasian Development Bank (EDB) was signed today at the AIFC platform. In addition to EDB, acting as the anchor investor, other development institutions and second-tier banks are entitled to participate in the project. 💼 The ESG Bond Programme for issuance of sustainable development bonds of AlES has been supported by the AIFC Green Finance Center, which provided the required independent advisory opinion evidencing the terms of bonds are in full compliance with the principles of sustainable development bonds (Second Party Opinion). 🌿 Daniyar Kelbetov, CFA, FRM, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the AIFC Green Finance Centre, expressed AIFC's commitment to promoting innovative financial instruments to attract investments into environmentally sustainable projects, highlighting the significance of the first issuance of Sustainability-Linked Bonds in Central Asia. 📈 Assel Mukazhanova , the Head of AIX, highlighted the growing global investor awareness of the importance of ESG criteria in investment decisions. Many companies are integrating these into their business strategies. She added that AIX is proud to be part of this trend, offering opportunities for investing in sustainable development through its range of products. 🌍 It is expected the AlES SLB bonds to become the largest issuance of sustainable development bonds in Central Asia, and the successful implementation of the project shall contribute to the greater efficiency of Almaty city’s energy system and improvement of the environmental conditions in the area.
