The Innovator's Podcast - by dorris

dorris meets

"dorris meets" is your monthly go-to-podcast on Innovation, Design and Entrepreneurship: This season’s theme is “Sustainable Founders”. We open our Danish-German network and introduce you to a bunch of awesome founders and great startups and scale-ups.
‍
2020 taught us that no matter what happens, we need to keep track of climate change, of environment damages and of engaging ourselves in doing a lot more against it. We committed ourselves to start acting last year and one of the steps we took towards this goal, was becoming a member of Leaders for Climate Action. There are so many wonderful initiatives and awesome startups out there working on the UN SDG goals and we feel we need to learn more about them, their mission and how we can support them.
