December also brought moments of connection that remind us why community matters as much as technology.
During an inspiring conversation with Thea Gherdan, founder of Proon-Tech, we reflected on how women are reshaping climate action through deep-tech, science-driven, and nature-positive solutions. Coming from different angles of the same mission, our journeys intersect around a shared belief: climate innovation must be bold, inclusive, and grounded in reality.
Both part of the She Wins Climate Programme by IFC (World Bank Group) and Climate Collective, and members of the EIT ecosystem, this exchange reinforced a powerful truth: When women lead climate innovation, solutions become more resilient, more human-centred, and more impactful.
