Diverse Generations in the Workplace: Challenges and Insights
Maaike De Prins, SD Worx
Differences between generations have always been there, but why is this so hot right now? If we look at our active population in the workplace, never have so many different generations been present in the workplace. Meanwhile, our digital natives are flowing in and on the other hand, we see that the retirement age is not immediately shortened, quite the contrary.
To attract this new up-and-coming talent, as an employer you need to know what drives this group, how they look at work and what they expect. Each generation has its unique characteristics in this regard.

Taking technical risks
Tommy Ahlers, Founder af Look up Ventures, Climate Tech investor og tidligere minister
Mange kender Tommy Ahlers fra hans tid i Folketinget og som minister for Higher Education and Science. Andre har set ham i det kendte TV-program, Løvens Hule, som en af de engagerede investorer. Tommy Ahlers er både aktiv i klimakampen generelt, men også konkret som investor i en lang række danske og internationale klima start-ups, der har nye banebrydende teknologier. Herudover er han adjungeret professor på DTU.
Han vil i sit oplæg fortælle, hvad der skal til for, at vi i meget højere grad får nye teknologier skaleret, så de gør en reel forskel globalt. Tommy vil også give et bud på, hvordan vi kan få flere til at bakke op om innovation og klimakampen.

Breakout 3
Closing the loop – Circulaire IT – A best practice for end user devices
Ryan Bark – Closing the loop
Willem van Burk - Value Proposition Manager Sustainability, Dustin
Sustainability of circularity in IT is quite an abstract topic for many. What is the best approach or solution for my organization? How do I start? Is it s calable and how do I engage my employees? Is it risk free and will it work together with other options? Are there best practices? These are questions we are asked when we talk with clients.
Electronics such as phones and laptops have become an essential part of our lives and work. Aligning these products to your personal and/or organizational values thus makes a lot of sense.
Closing the Loop helps tech users and sellers across the globe to take a first step towards sustainable consumption. We offer a pragmatic, positive and value-driven service called waste compensation. Our service has been awarded and have been adopted by many public and private organizations. Closing the Loop works with the tech industry, civil society, local communities and is involved in research (on circular procurement, waste reduction and informal community empowerment).
Ryan Bark has worked in the IT industry for more than 25 years in various commercial and business management positions with KPN and Xerox. He has been with Closing the Loop since 2021, helping the company grow and schale up by building partnerships in the channel.
