Still riding high from the incredible experience at the GREENTECH FESTIVAL in Berlin! 🌍 As many of you know, I frequently moderate and present keynotes, but this event was particularly special. I had the privilege of featuring Dream Entrepreneurship Network (DEN) member, Dr. Malcolm Fabiyi (he/him/his), Founder of OptimaBiome, whose groundbreaking work in biotechnology is truly inspirational. The Dream Entrepreneurship Network (DEN) is dedicated to uplifting and supporting BIPOC entrepreneurs, providing them with the resources, mentorship, and network needed to succeed in their ventures. This is crucial, considering that BIPOC startups face significant challenges in accessing capital and resources. Studies show that BIPOC entrepreneurs are less likely to receive funding compared to their white counterparts, with only 1% of venture capital going to Black entrepreneurs and less than 2% to Latinx entrepreneurs. Dream.Org is dreaming big and working tirelessly to change this narrative. By fostering systems thinking and creating pathways to an inclusive green economy, Dream.Org is ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to thrive in a sustainable future. Our mission is to break down barriers and build a more equitable world where diverse voices are at the forefront of innovation. Thank you to everyone who made the GreenTech Festival such an amazing event, and a special shoutout to Malcolm for his inspiring contributions. Together, we are making strides toward a greener, more inclusive economy for all.

⁉ What questions should we ask? Our CEO Maria Svantemark is invited to an event with Ebba Busch, Deputy Prime Minister of Sweden. The focus of the event is how we can create optimal conditions for startups and scaleups in Sweden. Here is a few questions we are interested in: 👉 What support will the government provide to fuel the sustainability transition in the startup world? 👉 What are the government doing to ensure that innovation and entrepreneurship is for everybody in society, e.g. by ensuring that MORE investments go to female started, owned and led businesses? What else should we ask? Let us know and we’ll bring the questions to the meetup and of course share a summary after the meetup! #changemakers #sustainabilitytransition #sustainablescaleup
