BOLD Community

Tuesday, June 3rd, at the Export Day 2025 🌍✨
What a meaningful day for the BOLD Community at the WKO.

We kicked things off with two rounds of BOLD Matchmaking, where ideas met opportunity and new collaborations started taking shape. Our panel talk opened up honest conversations about going global - and throughout the day, we met so many inspiring people who share the same drive to build boldly across borders.

Our first time in Iceland – and what a night it was! 🇮🇸✨

Last week, BOLD had the pleasure of hosting the Speaker’s Dinner at , welcoming some of the most forward-thinking minds from across the Nordic Innovation Ecosystem.

The evening unfolded over a creative menu inspired by Icelandic flavors, crafted by the incredible .su – Artist, Chef & Educator – whose culinary storytelling set the tone for deep conversations around renewable energy, carbon capture, impact investing and science-based innovation.

🟢 With climate neutrality as our current monthly focus at BOLD, this gathering felt especially meaningful. It reminded us that climate action doesn’t just live in labs and policies – it comes to life in community, creativity, and collaboration.
