🚀 Embracing Sustainability: A Glimpse Into Finland’s Cleantech Ecosystem. Greetings from Helsinki, Finland! 🇫🇮 As part of the MITACS Entrepreneur International program (Mitacs) we are exploring the Urban Tech Helsinki incubator to better understand the key drivers behind Finland’s thriving cleantech ecosystem. Our goal? To understand the key drivers behind this green revolution and integrate these practices and knowledge into our initiative at GRNshift. 🔑 Here’s a glimpse of our key discoveries to date: 1️⃣ Integrated Lifestyle: In Finland, sustainability is more than a mere trend, it’s deeply integrated into the fabric of everyday life. This holistic approach to business incorporates a broad spectrum of stakeholders, reflecting the deep-seated cultural commitment to environmental stewardship. 2️⃣ Data Driven Innovation: Underlying the thriving cleantech ecosystem there is a synergy of data-driven research and development, seamlessly bridged between governmental bodies and non-governmental organizations. ✴️ ✴️ So far, our visit to Helsinki has shown us that the solutions to combat climate change are not only within reach but are actively making a difference. The challenge now lies in amplifying these successes, fostering connections, and ensuring that the right resources meet in the right hands. This is the journey that GRNshift is committed to pioneering. 🔜 Stay tuned as we continue to share our discoveries and insights from Helsinki’s cleantech ecosystem!

The Gathering is a transformational event for companies, communities, villages, DAOs - the organisations building the regenerative era.

The report links local manifestations of social innovations to larger socioeconomic shifts relating to agri-food, housing, finance, mobility, circular economy and democracy, as well as to the broader translocal movements that these initiatives are embedded in. For example, the Dutch car sharing service MyWheels is understood as part of the larger transition from ‘owning’ to ‘accessing’ in mobility...
