During the event, Andreas Flodström, CEO and co-founder of Beetroot, will deliver an introductory presentation, providing valuable insights into Beetroot’s journey throughout 2022. He will specifically highlight the company’s remarkable resilience during the Russian full-scale war against Ukraine and the free world, emphasizing how an impact-driven culture played a vital role in creating positive change amidst adversity. Andreas will draw from the Beetroot Sustainability Report 2022, sharing the strategies and initiatives that enabled Beetroot to successfully navigate challenges and make a meaningful difference.
Andreas Flodström expressed his appreciation for the support received from LaSoft and other fantastic clients and partners, which helped Beetroot expand its ecosystem to Bulgaria, Poland, and Moldova, while also strengthening its presence in the U.S. market.

Additionally, through the Beetroot Aid for Ukraine Fund, supported by nearly 600 donors, significant humanitarian aid, education, and community restoration efforts were made.
