In 2050, more than nine billion people will live on our planet. If we don’t change anything in the way we live and produce then we will end up unable to meet the people´s demand. We are therefore facing huge global challenges. At the same time, these challenges open up many opportunities for all of us. In this respect, support of innovations is essential and can lead to transformations in individuals, organizations, supply chains, and communities toward a sustainable future.

The year 2020 was dominated by the unexpected and in decades, the unpreceden- ted spread of devastating disease. During these hard times we have learned that governments and organizations can act quickly and innovatively. We have to build up this innovative thinkiąng, keep the momentum going and we should act fast even in the post – corona period.
