Flere virksomheder bør basere forretningen på de globale udfordringer, de løser. Det mener bæredygtighedsekspert Nette Kirkegaard, der gennem Innovation Centre Denmarks SDG Landing Pad-projektet har hjulpet startups med at se deres teknologi i større sammenhænge. "Hele verden er jo i gang med at finde ud af, hvad vi skal leve af, hvis vi ikke længere skal drive strandhugst på klodens ressourcer. Den udvikling skal flere startups blive en del af, hvis de vil fremtidssikre deres forretning," forklarer hun.

"Through Innovation Centre Denmark in Shanghai, we visited a lot of large and interesting companies. The striking thing was that all of these companies are considering how to implement the green transition and sustainability in their entire production chain. We were quite surprised by that," says Philip Wedgwood, Chief Commercial Officer in GROUNDED Aps. "What was impressive was the companies' awareness that the sustainable shift costs something in the short term. They were fully aware of that. So there is no doubt that China is a future market for us. It's more a question of when," says Philip Wedgwood. The increasing coffee consumption in China combined with a rising focus on the green transition, made GROUNDED Aps the perfect startup to participate in our SDG Landing Pad program. In this program, Innovation Centre Denmark, Shanghai together with Clean and DigitalLead were able to design an internationalization program for GROUNDED Aps which introduced them to relevant Chinese stakeholders.  Watch more SDG Landing Pad cases here: www.icdk.dk/cases The Innovation Centre Denmark-program SDG Landing Pad is a collaboration between Clean, Danish Life Science Cluster, DigitalLead, Rethink Sustainability Consultancy, Innovation Centre Denmark, Shanghai, Innovation Centre Denmark Boston, Innovation Centre Denmark Tel Aviv, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark and Ministry of Higher Education and Science The project was supported by Industriens Fond.

Hear from three Danish startups who were matched up with Chinese stakeholders in Shanghai's strong innovation ecosystem as part of the SDG Landing Pad program 👋 GROUNDED Aps is behind a circular and green alternative to disposable cups; a coffee cup made from coffee grounds and plant fibers which is biodegradable and compostable both at home, in nature and in the sea. Continuum Composite Recycling has developed a new technology that can transform composite waste into recyclable products for buildings and thus make the construction industry more sustainable. TEGnology ApS has developed a technology that directly converts heat into electricity while eliminating CO2 emissions and the need for complex chemical reactions or moving parts. All three Danish startups have gained a foothold in the Chinese market where Danish green solutions are in high demand. This was a collaboration between Innovation Centre Denmark, Shanghai, Clean and DigitalLead.
