Swedbank Seedtalks: The Rise of Green
We're gathering business leaders to hear their case studies on what has led them to go green and their challenges during the transformation. The conversation deep dives into a model for how big and small companies can achieve exponential sustainability and look into the current market situation regarding adopting a more sustainable business process. What aspects of sustainability are the most targeted in companies? How has the strategy changed in context with Covid-19, and what is the role of technology and innovation?
To answer these questions, we'll be joined by:
