Mr Andres Sutt is a Member of Parliament and a former Minister of Entrepreneurship and IT. Mr Sutt also serves as a Member of the Supervisory Board of Eesti Pank, the central bank of Estonia. As a Minister, he oversaw the development of the e-Estonia ecosystem, raised investments in cybersecurity and launched the 5G rollout. He was actively promoting the Estonian startup ecosystem and collaboration in innovation between the businesses and universities. Mr Sutt has also worked for the European Stability Mechanism in Luxembourg and in the Board of the International Monetary Fund in Washington D.C.
During the conference, the former minister discussed the topic of “Going green – the greatest opportunity of our times”. One of his opening thoughts was that people oftentimes see the glass as half empty rather than half full, and thus everyone should ask themselves where are we heading as planet Earth. He was certain that nobody in the conference room needed to be convinced that the need to address such matters is rather dire. It is imperative to change the course towards a safer and sustainable future for both humans and the planet.For that, however, we would need to understand what kind of transition we are in, he said. Whether the transition is more linear or more disruptive. Mr. Sutt believes that, as we are facing the disruptive changes, the old / existing trends will not be able to predict where and how fast this transition will take us. While globalisation was the force for innovation, the state we are in now – Russia’s war in Ukraine, the EU and US vs China, etc. – has reversed the trends we knew from the beginning of the century. The situation is pushing for more innovation and reorientation of supply chains.
Mr. Sutt advocates that the changes in customers’ preferences play an equally important role for the transition. Customers have begun to want more value than just the product. There is growing interest regarding the entire value chain of the product – how it is sourced –, the labour standards, the use of energy, and the CO₂ footprint. These questions being entwined more and more into the business plans has become another driving force for innovation. Hence, the question “What is my environmental footprint?” has become pertinent to any business around the world. It is clear to the presenter that we are moving much faster to a transition to a green economy, than perhaps many are thinking at the moment.
To continue, the presenter ponders the topic whether investing into green energy is as big of an expense as it is taken as. “Is it really?”, he asks. The key point there, for him, is that while investment in green technology has a price, so does the investing in the existing technologies. He notes that if we do not invest in green technologies then we, for example, to fulfil the current need for energy, need to invest into fossil energy production. The option not to invest does not exist. Already many major oil production countries are diversifying their economies and looking how to diversify out of using fossil energy. A view that investment in green is an expense and not a revenue generating investment is a misperception we need to change in our mindset. If anything, we should compare investments into green and fossil energy, and assess which option will deliver us a better and sustainable future. The answer is obvious.
Mr. Sutt also points out the necessity to see carbon neutrality in a broader picture. He says renewable energy production is a must have enabler, but we should also work to reduce for example the digital footprint of our society. When we look at disruptive changes in the fields of energy and transportation, things are moving fast. He estimates that in 2 years from now comparable models of combustion engine and electric vehicles will have roughly the same price tag, accelerating the switch to electric.
Lastly, the presenter touches upon the topics of more sustainable production of batteries and hydrogen being the key in future energy mix, but does not delve into them too much. He sincerely believes that green transition is the greatest opportunity of all times, and it will happen much faster than we think today.
