The factual lock-down during the past weeks and months has been challenging for all of us, but economy is now recovering. The return to the “new normal” can be seen as an opportunity to focus on implementing Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in your business operations. Together with experts and entrepreneurs from the technology ecosystem we talked about the opportunities connected with the implementation of SDGs in your business model and why this can make sense right now.

Regarding the interest in creating sustainable business models, Dr. Stefanie Kesting, Director Innovation at Uniper, states: “The technologies for a switch towards a cleaner world are all there. The time to turn them into scalable business models has never been better than today.”

Thomas Andrae, Managing Partner at Linden Capital, comments: “For automotive OEMs, one of the key prerequisites to achieve SDGs is a vehicle platform strategy such as the MEB or PPE of Volkswagen AG.”

Dr. Gabriele Haas, Partner at Dentons specialized in Energy, Regulation and Compliance, adds: “Energy giants turn their portfolio upside down and become cleaner…hydrogen is the new buzzword.” 

When it comes to incorporating and investing into SDGs Thomas Schubert, LLM (Boston), head of the European Venture Technology Group and co-head of the European Energy Regulatory Group, closes: “… it looks like the time is right.”
