The EYE Innovator Award winner in the category New Entrepreneur, Mariia Alpitanova from Ukraine, currently based in Berlin. She studied mechanical engineering and pursued her dream. She developed a technology, which transmits sunlight over long distances in spaces without a window. But she was lacking experience how to translate this idea into practice, into a viable business. She gained this know how via teaming up with the Absolicon company, which specialized in the mass production of solar thermal collectors. Thanks to this EYE exchange in 2022, she was able to set up Solar optic, a business which will offer solutions to illuminate buildings sustainably with natural warm and sunlight directly when the sunlight is available.

From 13 - 17 February 2023, The OECD organised a Forum on Due Diligence in the Garment and Footwear Sector. Arisa, on behalf of the consortium Together for Decent Leather, organised a (virtual) side session entitled "Working better in leather: stakeholder engagement and worker empowerment as key aspects of due diligence". The session explored stakeholder engagement and empowerment of workers in the leather and leather products manufacturing industry in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. While human rights due diligence laws are developing, research finds evidence of poor labour situations, including challenges for unionization, regularly accompanied by a shrinking civic space. International companies buying leather and leather goods from the three South Asian countries can accomplish their due diligence by committing to stakeholder engagement linked to capacity building and empowerment for workers.

China has established a solid but rather complex regulatory system for food additives. This system can be difficult to navigate for European small and medium-sized food producers who often have questions about the scope and permitted usage of food additives in China. Furthermore, the distinction between new food additives and new food raw materials might be confusing to some. To provide practical guidance to European SMEs on regulations pertaining to food additives, the EU SME Centre organised in January 2023 a webinar based on the recently published 2022 Guidelines “Food Additives in China: Regulations and Practical Cases”. Watch this webinar to hear the guidelines’ authors provide an overview of the laws and regulations governing food additives in China, discuss the latest labelling requirements and introduce the expected changes to the regulations.

The European Capital of Innovation Awards (iCapital) is an annual recognition prize awarded to the European cities that best promote innovation in their communities.

They are the natural playground where breakthrough innovation flourishes as cities provide ground to experiment with new technologies and products in a real environment. In particular, the eighth edition recognises the cities’ contribution to developing local innovation ecosystems for the benefit of game-changing innovation and the wellbeing of the public.
