This blog is by our designer Katri Pakula. She has been actively contributing to Sustinaires and its first event tomorrow 28.2. in Helsinki.
Sustinaires collective for sustainability in digital world
Sustinaires is a cross-company collective of thinkers, professionals, and leaders from various tech companies and organisations united by a shared vision – a joint effort to enhance sustainability in technology and design. “We envision a future where technology and design contribute to a thriving planet, and we commit to actively participating in creating this. There is more to hear of the network later, and we will gladly share information, but for now, let us tell you about what happens tomorrow.”
We at Exove Design, as designers always aiming to enhance future proof and accessible digital services, communication, concepts and more, are more than happy to contribute to something as meaningful as this.
Sustainable Digitalisation event 28.2.24 – see you there!
The first event from Sustinaires is to take place tomorrow and, I (Katri), personally, could not be more excited! I have put my energy to operations of this cross-company collective recently as much as I can, and have been inspired to see the great minds in action.
Hope to see you there!
The event is already fully booked, but do have a sneak peak of the agenda below and in Eventbright page. As the event is fully booked, do follow Sustinaires in LinkedIn to hear snapshots from the event and follow the next steps of the collective!
Hope to see many familiar and new faces in the event tomorrow!
