Big ideas, bigger connections: What I learned at Oslo Innovation Week’s amazing kickoff. Huge shoutout to Oslo Innovation Week and Mesh Oslo and the incredible organizers for an unforgettable opening night! 🙌 It was my first time attending, and I can already say—it won’t be my last! Meeting so many brilliant minds left me inspired. We live in such an exciting time where innovation is moving at breakneck speed. Think about it: A few years ago, most of us could only dream about the tech we’re using today. Now, it’s everywhere, changing industries and driving progress in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Here are my 3 takeaways from the event: ➡️Innovation sparks when great minds come together ➡️Technology is only as powerful as the people behind it ➡️Community is EVERYTHING This event was a powerful reminder that staying curious and connecting with others is key to thriving in this rapidly evolving landscape. The conversations I had yesterday only confirmed it — the future is NOW.

As 2023 draws to a close, it's been a pivotal year for green technology and sustainability. With the global market in this sector growing from $22.75 billion in 2022 to an expected $206.88 billion by 2030, the pace of change is nothing short of revolutionary. With this in mind, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey of the GREENTECH FESTIVAL. From our humble beginnings in 2019, it has evolved remarkably and serves as a testament to our collective commitment to sustainability and green technology-bringing together tens of thousands of people every year. This year, GTF not only travelled across continents but also prepares for its most significant event yet at Messe Berlin next year. As our flagship event, it symbolises how far we've come and the potential for even greater impact. Each event, whether in Los Angeles, Singapore, London, or Berlin, has uniquely explored how diverse cultures and leaders approach sustainability. It's been a learning experience and a source of inspiration. In Los Angeles, for instance, the focus on green startups and innovative clean technology solutions wasn't just about showcasing new ideas but about fostering a space where change can begin. In Berlin, having opinion leaders like Federal Ministers Robert Habeck, Christian Lindner, Bettina Stark-Watzinger, and other global sustainability leaders participate was a proud moment for me. It showed how far we've come – from a new festival to a platform where world leaders want to engage in meaningful discourse on sustainability. As we look ahead, I'm excited to see what 2024 holds for us. What are your hopes and expectations for the future of green technology and sustainability?

We are very excited to announce the second edition of Techarena Zero, an international tech and sustainability event on October 23 in Stockholm! This is our most ambitious effort to date to create a forum and platform for bringing together leaders from different industries to discuss solutions and opportunities in the sustainable transition. 700 decision makers including business leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, politicians, and experts will gather to network, get inspired, and discuss ways to ZERO some of the biggest challenges to society. The event features: ▪️ A solution-oriented stage program ▪️ Digital platform for pre-booking meetings and matchmaking ▪️ Engaging round-table discussions ▪️ Exhibition ▪️ Side events ▪️ Networking mingle “We have seen a high demand for business driven sustainability topics on our stages and our last year's ZERO event was vastly overbooked. Therefore, we decided to make this year's event much bigger, with a clear strategy to continue growing the platform and community in the coming years.. Our goal is to showcase that there are great successes and opportunities in the shift towards ZERO. We will bring international leaders that can be learned from and inspire the participants,” says Omid Ekhlasi, CEO and Founder of Techarenan. The event is supported by the The Swedish Institute (SI), The city of Stockholm, and Teknikföretagen (Technology Industries of Sweden) amongst others.

'🟣“The choices we make today create the future that we are dreaming of”🔵 🌍It is clear that every decision we make, no matter how small, sets the foundation for our future. Whether it's choosing to learn a new skill, stepping out of our comfort zone, or deciding to prioritize sustainability in our actions, each choice is a stepping stone toward the future. 🟣As talking about making the future, I am wondering if you have heard about WMF - We Make Future event. Here it is in numbers (last year edition): 🔹89 countries represented 🔹100 stages 🔹1000 speakers 🔹60.000 attendees 🔵As the organizers indicate on the web page - WE MAKE FUTURE is the #Planet’sLargestInnovationEvent. 🟣It fosters the future through culture, education, and innovation. Key topics to be covered in the Festival offer businesses a valuable opportunity to gain visibility and attract suitable investors for their creative ideas and initiatives. 🚀This year, WMF will start on 13th June at the venue of BolognaFiere. 🔵Industry experts in AI & Digital Tech, researchers, creators, institutional representatives, activists, journalists, Open Innovation stakeholders, and many others who are acting as true change makers will share from the stages the future development trends of global society through the conscious, sustainable, and inclusive use of technological and digital innovation tools. I will have a great pleasure to talk about the sustainability.🌍 🔵“There must be a better way to make the things we want, a way that does not spoil the sky, rain or the land” as Paul McCartney said. 🟣What are your choices to create the future that you are dreaming of❓

Huge thanks to everyone who joined us this morning at Exchange: Cost of (not) Innovating. We had a brilliant and engaging conversation covering culture, mindset money and more. Here are some of our key takeaways from the conversation: - There are often competing forces at play - the need to grow businesses and. rapidly differentiate vs the need to deliver profits - We spoke about the balancing of incremental vs transformative innovation. Simon Garrard talked about a portfolio approach (the golden ratio - 70% should be geared towards incremental, 20% on adjacent and 10% on breakthrough/transformative innovation) - Company culture dictates the ability to challenge the boundaries, lean into the unknowns and have an innovative mindset. We hear about how important it is to create a safe and creative space by encouraging an openness to ‘failure’ … and looking at failure as a success if you’re learning from it - therefore the narrative around failure (as role-modelled by leadership) is so important. - Finally, we talked about how much is rooted in the language we use, and how this can sometimes be a barrier. We even touched on how even calling it ‘innovation’ can be off-putting and could create a barrier. What were your reflections?

Exhibition Director | EXPO REAL | International Trade Fair for Real Estate and Investment, Messe München, Munich
In times of numerous challenges, how are digital transformation and economic shifts reshaping the real estate industry? This year's EXPO REAL (Messe München) has tailored the 'Transform & Beyond' area in Hall A3 to focus on AI, smart buildings, and sustainability. With 52 exhibitors showcasing cutting-edge solutions, we've crafted a comprehensive program including guided tours starting at stand A3.TB7, stages, and special areas—all designed to address the pressing issues. And we don't waste any time. On the first day, at EXPO REAL FORUM the conference program kicks off with 'Transformation: Walk the Talk!', featuring an international industry women’s perspective and setting the tone for three days of in-depth discussions on how real changes are being implemented in the real estate industry. More in detail, this will be discussed at the TRANSFORMATION & BEYOND STAGE in Hall A3. Day 2 shifts our focus to the synergy between traditional real estate sectors and the startup ecosystem, highlighting how embracing innovation can significantly enhance the competitive edge. The comprehensive program is offered especially at the TRANSFORMATION & BEYOND STAGE, the DECARB ARENA and the TECH TALK STAGE, all placed in Hall A3. Among others, there is the panel “Inside Innovation – 4 examples from successful collaborations between startups & corporates” at the TRANSFORMATION & BEYOND STAGE and the comprehensive program “Remaking Cities for the new world order” at the DECARB ARENA featuring sessions like “Retrofit and Re-Use” and “Healthy Cities” with with the participation of public authorities while the TECH TALK STAGE will feature more than 40 presentations on technological innovations during the 3 days of EXPO REAL.
