“The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed." - William Gibson In healthcare, transformation is not uniform. While some regions and institutions are at the forefront, leveraging cutting-edge technologies, others are still catching up due to resource constraints, regulatory hurdles, or infrastructural challenges. As we navigate this digital revolution, it's crucial to focus on equitable access to these advancements. By sharing knowledge, investing in digital infrastructure, and fostering collaborations, we can ensure that the benefits of digital health reach everyone, everywhere. #DigitalHealth #HealthcareInnovation #EquitableAccess #Telemedicine #HealthTech Santander X Santander Bank Polska EIT Health InnoStars

Práce v marketingu s "pozitivním dopadem" ♻️🌎💡? Návod níže není dokonalý, ale je hezkým přehledem, že to jde. Vítejte ve světě "Demand Switching". -- 1. Substitute This means replacing a dirty, polluting product with a clean (or cleaner) one. For example, an EV instead of a diesel car because even over a whole lifecycle an EV produces two-thirds less impact. It might also mean shifting from a chocolate bar that has child labour in the supply chain to one that hasn’t, e.g. Tony’s Chocolonely. Many companies don’t (yet) have a superior sustainability product or proposition. That’s where we help them. But for those brands that do have a superior product with a lower impact on Nature, then it deserves to be number one in the market and if it isn’t, marketers need to help them sharpen up their go-to-market strategy. 2. Shrink Reducing the volume of a product (compaction) and/or making it more potent can reduce transport emissions, so a bottle of fruit squash drink that makes 20 litres is better than shipping in 20 litres of juice. The same is true for laundry detergent sheets over bulky powder or liquids, e.g. The Green Company. 3. Save (from landfill) We love this one, what if rather than junking consumer electronics or white goods we repaired them. There’s a lot of work to do to make repairs easier and parts accessible but changing legislation is beginning to help, e.g. the UK’s new Right to Repair law. People also get a surprisingly joyful kick from fixing a toaster. As an example. Dr Martens are launching a repair service. 4. Share Why own an electric drill, or car, or power washer if you can borrow one? The growing networks of Libraries of Things shows how this can work at a local level. A great opportunity here for a business to help facilitate community sustainability, for instance Bosch power drills. 5. Stick (around) Holding on to something you’ve bought is a brilliant way to slow consumption and emissions. It’s the ‘wardrobe classic’ of the great transition. If you can afford it, buy less but better. Clearly there’s a social justice/affordability issue here. But planned obsolescence, e.g. in phones, will one day be a criminal act. The new Fairphone 5 is a good example of a product built to last. 6. Socialise How about switching demand away from buying anything at all? There’s joy to be had in other ways than hitting the shops, unboxing or posting a haul; for example, Parkrun the free, community event where people get together to run every week is all about connection and competitive fun where the kit you’re in is of no concern. It’s sponsored by Health Insurer Vitality. As people search for new forms of post-consumer meaning, how might companies support their journeys into, e.g., learning, connecting and finding deeper purpose? ---

💫 This week marked the official end of the 1st edition of the ESG Women Leaders Academy - Akademia Liderek ESG - run by the Fundacja im. Lesława A. Pagi🏆Wikimedia Polska was a content partner of the Academy. 🎉 I congratulate the organizers and the graduates - an excellent program has been created that equips capable women with the essential competencies needed to make #ESG topic even more present in the market ❗ ✅ During my recent meeting with the participants of the Academy I talked about the power of the Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia brand, the enormous reach of Polish Wikipedia, and how important it is for experts like the program participants to be actively involved in expanding the pool of free knowledge through #Wikimedia on the #ESG topic. ➡ We need high-quality #entries, #sources and #data - Wikipedia is used by millions of Poles, so we have an obligation to provide them with reliable, verified #knowledge. And who better to codify it and add it to the Polish Wikipedia/Wikimedia if not ESG leaders? I would like to thank Paulina Paga eMBA for inviting me to the project, and Jolanta Drzewakowska for her amazing involvement in the recruitment process, promotional support of the program and participation in the Academy's closing event. 👏 We look forward to the next edition! #ESG #Paga #wikimediapolska #wikipedia #wikimedia #women #leaders #acedemy #leadership #education #environment #social #governance #sustainability #sustainabledevelopment

The day started with VIP Breakfast, graced by the presence of Dariusz Standerski, PhD, Secretary of State in the Ministry of Digital Affairs in Poland. This exclusive event, organized by the Scandinavian-Polish Chamber of Commerce ( SPCC ), provided a unique insight into the daily routine of the Minister of Digital Affairs. It was revealed that the Minister begins each day by reviewing a report from the previous day, which often includes alarming statistics such as the fact that the infrastructure has been attacked over 300 times. This startling information underscores the severity of the situation, with Poland being the most attacked member state in the European Union. Poland's leadership in the European AI regulation landscape is a shining example of progress. A significant development on the horizon is the establishment of a new regulatory body, the Commission of AI Supervision. This entity's primary role is to reduce the liability for companies that adopt certified AI systems. This proactive step has the potential to significantly accelerate the adoption of cutting-edge technologies, a positive development for the business landscape. Poland's approach to AI implementation is not just about certification; it's about inclusivity. A key component of this strategy is the establishment of an AI Fund. This fund will serve a dual purpose: to secure a steady stream of funding and to invest in research and the development of ethical standards. These measures are beneficial not only for large corporations but also for small businesses and local administrations. This will ensure that the implementation of AI technology at an everyday level does not rely solely on deploying GPT chat on a website. This commitment to inclusivity fosters a more diverse and robust AI landscape. According to the Ministry's declarations, Poland is a European leader in implementing AI regulation. Wow.   #AI #regulation #europe

This week I had the great pleasure to be a judge in the jury selecting best EY innovation projects in Central Europe. I was impressed by the creative yet practical ideas that can benefit the enterprise world and beyond. And to top it all off - majority of the projects were enabled using Microsoft technology. #DigitalTransformation #AI

The time has come to read a very interesting report: the GREENTECH REPORT POLAND 2024 prepared by Accelpoint, Taylor Economics in partnership with PKO BP, and EIT Climate KIC   We are delighted to see the presence of three of our portfolio companies (Solwena, The SmokeD wildfire detectors, and Waste24) in the cited report. EEC Ventures is at the forefront of green VC funds, as proven by the number of portfolio companies mentioned in the report in relation to the total number of all companies in the portfolio.   Our companies have verified and confirmed the market value of the technologies and their products. They have also established partnerships with large regional or global players, and their revenues are growing.   Both The SmokeD wildfire detectors and Waste24 are already generating revenue in foreign markets. Solwena is working with major international corporations and is in the process of negotiating agreements that will result in revenues from abroad. The report contains a very thorough analysis, starting from the good definition of concepts such as greentech, cleantech, climatetech, and many interesting analyses. The report paints a picture of a young and delicate ecosystem. Quantitatively, the community of 133 "green" startups is indeed a very small percentage compared to the 4,900 technological companies in Poland. These startups are in the early stages of development, they still have modest revenues, and individual investors dominate among the investors. VC funds associated with PFR Ventures are among the largest capital donors This early stage of the system is likely the reason why less than one-third of the described startups have sought R&D funding, which is usually an appropriate source of financing for projects at this stage. It is also surprising to note that Hungary and Lithuania have attracted more investment in this sector than Poland. Reading the entire report is highly recommended.

Yesterday during #StrongerTogether - meeting for top managers BNP Paribas Bank Polska, we had the opportunity and privilege to host Aric Dromi, futurologist, social and technology strategist and innovatian expert on mobility, logistics, the future of urban structures and AI. Aric shared with us his knowledge and experience on, among others: AI and leadership: 👉🏻 We tend to look at AI as technology. We forget it’s a philosophical umbrella that becomes real because of certain types of technology under it, like machine learning, like computer vision, like self-adjusted algorithms, and so on.  👉🏻 And artificial and intelligence are literally contradicting terms, so I’ve started to call it inorganic intelligence. I see it as an extension of human potential. I think we can use these technologies to create better doctors, better lawyers, better accountants, better drivers—a better society.  👉🏻 We can use technology for our benefit, we can come together with collaboration, resilience and repurposing, to help us now and moving forward. 👉🏻The big problem for a company today is to rethink its culture and its internal behavior. Most innovation is happening because of competition, not because of curiosity. Building curiosity rather than copying ideas and technologies will determine a company’s success in the future. 👉🏻Innovation isn’t conceived on command. Innovation comes from the bottom, up or from the outside, in – not the top, down. Aric left us with many thoughts💡that will stay with us for a long time and will be an inspiration for further action. Aric, thank you🙏🏼, it was an extraordinary intellectual feast for us.
