Nemanja: Kale My Name promotes a cruelty-free, plant-based lifestyle. With every meal served we transform the way all people—both vegans and non-vegans—see the vegan movement. We present this lifestyle in a positive, welcoming, and judgment-free way every day.
Jana: People are feeling increasingly disconnected and isolated, especially as a result of the pandemic. Adventure Untamed helps people of all fitness and experience levels connect with nature and other people, and engage their sense of curiosity. A number of participants have told us that connecting with nature and engaging with others, in some cases for the first time since the pandemic began, helped their mental wellness. It helped them cope with loss and isolation. Getting back to basics by engaging with our natural surroundings, being mindful, and being curious bring joy and hope to people's lives. We have trips that span the spectrum of abilities and experiences, so someone can join as a first-time hiker or an experienced mountaineer.
Kari: There are various challenges we face as human beings, and that is why BIOVATEC seeks to contribute to the development of sustainable and eco-efficient solutions. We do this with a scientific-technological base to promote innovation through projects that tackle environmental problems. We also highlight the opportunities that biotechnology offers us and that new things can be created from very basic or complex problems. This is actually how we developed NoPlastic, one of the main projects at BIOVATEC, with the aim of combating plastic pollution and food waste. We also offer support and collaboration with different sectors to generate social, environmental, and economic benefits.
