Featuring: Jussi Nokkala | Director, Sustainability & Climate change leader | PwC Finland Tommi Ekholm | Research professor, Climate change mitigation | Finnish Meteorological Institute Kimmo Vilske | Partner, Energy utilities & resources leader | PwC Finland
In this event, we will review approaches to supporting decision making for reaching net zero carbon outcomes, focusing on marginal abatement cost curves (MACC). Jussi Nokkala from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) will consider how corporate approaches to climate change have shifted from climate reporting to climate reduction plans. He will then explain the MACC approach at PwC can support these carbon emissions reductions.
Tommi Ekholm from the Finnish Meteorological Institute will then give a commentary on MACC methodology from an academic perspective and how this can be used to support policymaking for a net zero carbon future. After this overview of MACC from corporate and academic perspectives,
Kimmo Vilske from PwC will explain the concrete outcomes of corporate emission reduction plans, looking at resulting projects and transactions for low carbon energy systems. Overall the event will inform the audience on the tools to support decision making for a net zero future, their application in different contexts, and the resulting outcomes.
This event will be held as a Zoom webinar. Register here.
We look forward to seeing you online on January 19th

”Järjestämme kaikille avoimen robottibussin esittelytilaisuuden Matinkylässä kauppakeskus Iso Omenan edessä sunnuntaina 31.10. klo 15–18. Robottibussi on nähtävillä Markkinakadun puoleisen sisäänkäynnin ulkopuolella.
Samana päivänä järjestetään myös vastaava tapahtuma Espoon keskuksen kauppakeskus Espoontorin ulkopuolella klo 10–13.
Esittelytilaisuudessa yleisö pääsee tutustumaan robottibussiin ja kysymään siihen liittyviä kysymyksiä. Robottibusseja esittelee yrityskumppanimme Roboride Oy. Robottibusseilla ei tilaisuuksissa ajeta.
Tilaisuudet ovat osa syksyllä alkaneita robottibussikokeiluitamme, joilla edistetään automaattista ja vähähiilistä liikkumista. Espoon kaupunki on sitoutunut olemaan hiilineutraali vuonna 2030, joten hyvin palveleva ja kustannustehokas joukkoliikennejärjestelmä on meille välttämätön. Tulevaisuuden tavoitteena on tehdä robottibusseista pysyvä osa kaupunkien joukkoliikennettä.”

Welcome to Synbio Powerhouse annual event 29.9.2021!
This year the Synbio Powerhouse annual seminar will explore the symbiosis of synthetic biology and the circular bioeconomy. Microbes are uniquely capable to utilise bio waste as feedstock. With the tools of synthetic biology we are able to engineer the microbes to efficiently convert the waste into useful products such as biomaterials, chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
Biotechnology can help us achieve a truly sustainable use of biomass derived from agriculture, forest or food industry. What could be done, what is needed and how should we move forward? Join us to discuss this hot topic together with industry experts, researchers and policy makers. In our event you will also hear some of the latest finding from novel synbio research.
What is possible, what is needed and how should we move forward – join us for a discussion with industry experts, researchers and policy makers. In this event you will also hear some of the latest findings from novel synbio research.
Preliminary program: – Waste as feedstock – Biosynthetic production – Novel Synbio Research
This seminar is part of the official program of the European Biotech week 28.9-1.10.2021.
Invitation by Lantmännen in co-operation with Urban Mill:
How can we challenge the way we produce and eat food to resolve two of the world’s most urgent problems: climate change and increasing health issues?
We are facing major challenges, both in terms of the way we produce food and how we consume it. Our planet must feed a growing population, and at the same time sustainability challenges and health problems related to the food we put on our plates are increasing globally. A development that we at Lantmännen are convinced that we can change. Together.
Do you have fresh insight on sustainable nutrition to complement our expertise? An excellent idea for a new plant-based product? An unexplored solution for using manufacturing process sidestreams adding value to more healthier products? Maybe a business model to change consumer behavior towards more sustainable way? Or maybe a breakthrough insight for oat or wholegrain?
An event for students, researchers, entrepreneurs, and companies interested in learning more about International Genetically Engineered Machine (IGEM Foundation), their portfolio of projects in the Nordics, and possible pathways for future collaboration in the field of synthetic biology.
Time & Location 25 Mar, 14:00 – 15:30 EET Online Event
You are warmly welcome to our second Synbio Talk! – an event series taking place every month where we talk about different topics related to synthetic biology.

The team behind the Greenhouse
Lantmännen’s Greenhouse is run by Nina Tuomikangas and Jakob Söderström. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions or thoughts regarding the Greenhouse!
“The fashion industry is responsible for a significant amount of waste and exhausting resources. The fast-fashion phenomenon not only creates environmental damage and fair trade issues, but also a culture of overbuying and throw-away.
Right now we are working on a start-up – Lagoom App, a collaboration between Tavarapilvi Oy and gaIoTa Oy. We are a multidisciplinary team of people from different cultural backgrounds and professional expertise but we all share a commitment to sustainability. Our core team consists of Aalto University’s students who are passionate about innovation.
As a part of sustainable fashion solution we empower consumers to be more responsible and contribute more to a sustainable lifestyle, we created Lagoom App.
Lagoom.app is a completely new way of recycling clothes securely. The solution enables an easy and clever way of creating one’s own community, making managing, buying and selling clothes straightforward. ”Lagoom is the Tinder of second-hand clothes,” says founder Jaakko Isohanni.
To create impact, we ask for your support to spread the word to anyone who you think might be interested in our app. This will be a tremendous support to our project. We truly appreciate your support and are looking forward to hearing from you!
Please visit our website for further information or contact me via linh.nguyen@lagoom.app if you have any questions.
