The main takeaway from the Green Business Building Summit 2024 hosted by McKinsey & Company is the central role of software and digital platforms in driving a green transition. We at Gridspertise contribute to this transition by supporting the digitalization of a traditional industry like electricity distribution, and with our as-a-service approach, we are well positioned to not just scale-up, but scale smart in this transition. A special thanks goes to the hosts Harry Forbes and Gisa Springer and my fellow panelists Gina Domanig and Magnus Drewelies , who share our belief in the synergy between digital technologies and green business building. ?#McKinseySustainability #GBB24

Reflections from the dynamic session I co-hosted with Gisa Springer at McKinsey's Green Business Building Summit 2024: Our breakout focused on the critical influence of software and digital platforms in propelling the global green transition, featuring key insights from leaders at Gridspertise, Emerald Technology Ventures, and CEEZER. We delved into the essential role of 'green' software in supporting the energy and manufacturing industries toward a sustainable future and enabling the development of up to 300 green decacorns and 1,000 unicorns this decade. Prominent themes included the need for startups, incumbents and funds to work together, the need for bold strategic decision-making, and the importance of talent and culture in hyperscaling a green software business. Big thanks to Robert Denda, Gina Domanig, and Magnus Drewelies for their invaluable contributions and for explaining best practices in the fusion of technology and sustainability, vital for achieving a net-zero future. #McKinseySustainability #GBB24

Sustainability and responsible business practices are more crucial than ever. ?? Companies utilizing open innovation show a remarkable 20% improvement in their ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance metrics, driven by the adoption of innovative and responsible business practices. ??? Open innovation is not just a trend; it's a strategic approach to tackling global challenges. Through collaborative efforts, companies can develop cutting-edge solutions that enhance their ESG impact while driving growth and competitiveness. From reducing carbon footprints to improving social inclusivity and strengthening governance practices, the benefits are substantial and far-reaching. We've seen firsthand how these partnerships lead to tangible results. Corporates gain access to innovative technologies and fresh perspectives, while startups benefit from the guidance, scale, and the market reach of established companies. It's a win-win scenario that accelerates progress and drives meaningful change.
