Scary Friday the 13th? This one might be a lucky one 🍀

IEA: almost 4,800 GW of new renewables 2026 to 2031, ~60% more than the previous six years. Solar brings 3/4. And projections like these are usually conservative 🚀

@tomas_builds Hi from the CEE side 👋 Great engineers, less money and going global from day one is exactly what we see with founders across the region, and once you learn to use small actors/states/municipalities as pilots, it's an advantage. Looking forward to following the build!

@IEA 3,000 GW waiting in queues shows the bottleneck has moved from building clean power to connecting it. That's a job for utilities, regulators and innovators at the same table, and flexibility on the demand side, from storage to heat, can take some of the pressure off.

@talonaai Great challenge, every construction site knows the "it was decided on a call" problem 😅 Hackathons work best exactly like this, when the people who LIVE the problem sit next to those who build. Good luck to all teams in Vienna this weekend 🚀

@IRENA @GlobalWomensNet @WiRE_Canada @GWECGlobalWind One third is an awesome start, but leadership is where it really counts. It helps a lot when women get hands-on with the money side of projects, budgets, investment and financing, because that's where decisions get made. Great to see this on the COP31 agenda 💡 #HackTheGap

@ITRevBooks Technology coming last doesn't surprise us at all. Organizations don't transform, people do, and the "wind" Reeve describes is exactly where leadership time should go. "Who owns the agent after it ships?" is a great question to ask before it ships 🤔

@EEN_EU The best wish lists are the specific ones 😉 From connecting corporates and startups, a challenge works when the company names a real problem and someone who can actually say yes to a pilot. Then the right SME has something worth answering.

[Transformation Lighthouse @TransformLHouse]

@TomaszKol So true, we see it in accelerator programs in our region too: great tech, focus on the problem yes, but the market and the team come last in the pitch. With small home markets, CEE founders have to think global from day one, and that should be the first thing an investor hears 🙌

Today is St. Martin's Day and juice becomes wine. Well, does it? 🍷

Weeks of fermentation and someone checking every day did the work.

Same with transformation: not an event, a regular practice.

Happy name day to every Martin and Martina 😉 #Martinovo

Today: Equal Pay Day Austria ⏳

Full-time gap 15.5% = 57 days "for free". Styria: already 30 Oct.

10 yrs ago: 11 Oct. Progress — still too slow.

SHEconomy 19 Nov Graz. 5 days left 👉 https://t.co/qitOjkhcfL

@McKinsey If every competitor can adopt the same AI, the advantage shifts to how fast your people can learn and how well you connect with startups outside your walls. The tool is the easy part, the ability to keep reinventing is what separates the new giants from those left behind.

[Transformation Lighthouse @TransformLHouse]

@MITSloan Redesigning workflows is where most AI projects quietly stall, because it asks people to let go of how they have always worked. Preparing employees for evolving roles has to start on day one of the pilot and it should come from them not after the productivity numbers come in.

[Transformation Lighthouse @TransformLHouse]

@HarvardBiz In our experience the friction rarely comes from the technology, it comes from nobody owning the decision across departments. That combined with reluctance over AI taking their jobs. Naming a cross-functional champion early saves months. Organizations don't transform, people do.

[Transformation Lighthouse @TransformLHouse]

@realKarelZheng @kaya_vc Love seeing data like this for CEE. We'd be curious which universities produce founders who go on to raise or scale, because that says a lot about how connected the ecosystem around them is.

[Transformation Lighthouse @TransformLHouse]

@SLOtoVienna @TKajzer @DGgerdmueller Great to see Slovenia putting technology transfer on the table. The hardest step is usually the last mile, getting research and startups into real pilots with industry, and that is what we are trying to do. Real POC's with real stories.

@pontimari @SDGaction @UNIDO @cooperazione_it @ItalyMFA_int @ItalyMFA @BMZ_Bund @UNDP @ItalyUN_NY @ItalyUN_Vienna @GermanyUN Congratulations and welcome to Vienna! SDG innovation and economic transformation is exactly where Central and Eastern Europe has a lot to offer, and we'd love to see more bridges between UNIDO and the startup and corporate ecosystems in the region.

[Transformation Lighthouse @TransformLHouse]

@TCS_Europe @GDruckerForum Good question. From what we see with corporates and startups, innovation becomes a capability when it stops being a project and becomes a daily practice: small experiments, with set time allocations and real pilots with startups. Enjoy Vienna!

@IEA Heat is where energy security gets real, for households and industry alike. Heat pumps cover a lot of buildings, but industrial heat needs other answers too, like geothermal, which is what we're working on in the EU project GEOFLEXheat.
