In a special mini series about the ESI Sustainability Challenge, we are sitting down with Karlis Karolis, Baltic Head of Innovations at SEB bank to learn about why the company decided to be a partner for the challenge and how they chose a problem for the participants to try and solve. We touch on such subjects as how new innovation ecosystems grow, how to balance current business needs and future innovation, and what sustainability means to a bank. Innovation challenges are a great way to foster idea generation to solve the problems that face many corporations. We’ll see if this is used more and more frequently in the future.
We are grateful to the European Regional Development Fund, SEB bank and RIMI for their support.
