Last week, John Hunter and Alexandra Daoud from Ingrid Capacity joined the launch of the #Smartenergy platform at the Swedish residence in Warsaw, a collaborative initiative by the Embassy of Sweden in Warsaw and Business Sweden. The platform aims to engage companies in Poland's energy sector transformation. 🇵🇱🇸🇪
The meeting brought many valuable insights, some key takeaways included:
💰 The economic shift to green jobs is crucial for prosperity. As it has many times been in history, future work opportunities will emerge in geographies where there is cheap energy.
🛡 As societies are electrified, the need for a secure and resilient energy system will become increasingly important.
🤝 Collaboration is a prerequisite for a successful green transition. It must be handled at a European level.
The commitment towards the green transition was strong from all attendees, which was inspiring. It was also exciting to hear about Poland’s ambitious plans of its government to be a pioneer in the green transition.
Among the attendees were names and companies like the Swedish Ambassador Andreas von Beckerath, the Polish Secretary of State Krzysztof (Chris) Bolesta, Business Sweden, IFC - International Finance Corporation, EBRD, and industry companies such as Northvolt, Volvo Cars, Aira, Skanska, OX2, Scania Group, and SKF Group.
Thank you to the Swedish Embassy, Business Sweden, and Grazyna Sotta for hosting this great meeting and creating this platform.
Let’s continue collaborating for a greener tomorrow!
