🦓 Intensive growth sprint fuels Estonian and Finnish scaleups 🦓 We recently hosted a two-day bootcamp for a selected group of Estonian and Finnish zebra scaleups, aimed at accelerating growth and embedding sustainability into their business strategies. 🌿 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 Margus Saks, Sales Manager at Estanc, shared insights from Estanc’s ESG journey and its crucial role in expanding to foreign markets. Despite initial scepticism about the importance of ESG principles, Diana Paakspuu convinced attendees of the necessity. It’s difficult to imagine a company that isn't affected by the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Scaleups part of a CSRD-compliant supply chain or those seeking financing must be prepared to address ESG-related questions. 📈 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 Our speakers, including Olli Laintila from Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences, delivered valuable strategies and essential reading for business development.

A heartfelt thank you to all the speakers and also mentors who shared their knowledge and expertise, ensuring the bootcamp's success! 🌟 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀 In the upcoming January, we will select up to ten exceptional scaleups from this bootcamp to receive personalized mentorship, helping them implement their strategic plans over the next six months.
