An interesting summary and reading from Roosa Peippo, who recently joined Green Factory AI to study and understand the industrial market opportunity for us! AI and Sustainability: Insights from Industry Experts Over the past weeks, we’ve had the chance to delve into industrial processes and the current state of the pulp and paper industry in Finland and the Nordics. 🌍🏭 Sustainability has become a permanent focus 🌿for companies, with efforts to make operations more responsible extending across entire value chains. 🌱However, the utilization of data and technological advancements has not yet reached its full potential in this region. 🛠️ Artificial intelligence 💻 remains minimally applied, and a lack of time and resources often prevents employees from exploring its possibilities beyond their daily tasks. Key challenges in leveraging data 📈 include the availability of systematic datasets and issues with measurement inaccuracies. Cost minimization is currently a central concern for businesses, particularly in response to rising energy prices. 💰 Additionally, optimizing production side streams and waste management has become a growing area of focus. Companies are increasingly eager to better understand how AI can support these efforts and drive both efficiency and responsibility.

🚀 The Power of Loose Coupling in Software Design 🚀 This morning, during our coffee break, we got into an interesting discussion about the challenges of working with two separate repositories — let’s call them Repo A and Repo B. Our data scientist Max Väistö shared with us: “I realized that the code I was writing in Repo A was starting to rely too much on the details inside Repo B, which was making things more complicated and harder to maintain. It reminded me of the importance of loose coupling in software design. By making sure Repo A interacts with Repo B through a simple, well-defined interface, we can avoid a lot of issues if Repo B changes. This way, everything stays more manageable, scalable, and future-proof." It’s a great reminder for any development project: keeping clean interfaces and reducing dependencies not only simplifies maintenance but also sets us up for faster growth in the future! #SoftwareDesign #CodingBestPractices #LooseCoupling #CleanCode #Scalability #SoftwareEngineering

We had an amazing two days in Gothenburg during the GoWest - Nordic Venture Capital Forum Tech week, participating in three different events focused on sustainability. It was a fantastic opportunity to meet colleagues, investors, and listen to inspiring keynotes. Additionally, attending the Klimatledande Processindustri event was invaluable for learning and sharing insights on leveraging AI in manufacturing and the process industry and to meet potential partners. Some of our findings: 🔷 Companies across industries strongly committed to sustainability. Keynotes by Karin Svensson from Volvo and Magnus Rosén at SFK emphasise the necessity of collaboration in addressing sustainability challenges. Both highlighted how cross-industry partnerships can pool expertise, resources, and technology to create meaningful change, especially in areas like energy efficiency, production optimization, and emission reductions. 🔶 On the technology front, IBM and Nvidia showcased powerful use cases where AI is playing a transformative role in enabling businesses to achieve sustainability goals. 🔷 AI is proving to be a key driver in helping businesses achieve sustainability goals through smarter, data-driven solutions.  There’s a palpable will and motivation within our community to collaborate, learn, and drive rapid progress towards better manufacturing practices! A huge thank you to Karin Eriksson for facilitating our attendance at these wonderful events, and special thanks to Hanna Paradis for guiding us through the side event Klimatledande Processindustri. You all rock! And for Malin Kjällström for the wonderful events @Go West Tech Week!

This week was truly exhilarating! This week, we were privileged to welcome the Vietnamese Minister of Information and Communication Technology, Mr. Nguyen Manh Hung, along with his delegation of Government of Vietnam, to Maria01 and our Green Factory office. The visit, facilitated by the Vietnamese embassy in Finland, was designed to gain insights into Finnish startups, communities, and their operational models. Heartfelt thanks to Anni Anttonen for her outstanding presentation at Maria01! The delegation was notably impressed by Helsinki's self-funded community models. A special thanks to Hung Ta for arranging the meeting with the Minister, a highlight in our team's professional journey! Our discussions covered the business landscape in Vietnam and the burgeoning startup ecosystem in Hanoi. The Minister, leveraging his telecommunications expertise, imparted essential entrepreneurial advice to guide both our company and us as individuals. Furthermore, we participated in the Nordic Business Forum 2024 in Helsinki, delving into the themes of leadership and growth during unpredictable times. The opportunity to network with peers, investors, and entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds and to absorb wisdom from leading experts was truly stimulating. #greenfactoryai #maria01 #nordicbusinessforum2024 #technology #tech #trending #innovation #ai #ml #genai #manufacturing #netzero #industry #emissions #sustainability #optimization #climatetech #cleantech
