Published by Mountainblog on .
The convergence of The Decentralised Web 3.0, Digital Sustainability, and Open Technologies with the Internet of Things and Artifical Intelligence will fundamentally reshape the way we do business and govern our societies in the future.

The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals as well as the outcomes of the Paris Climate Agreement are setting global targets to meet. To that purpose, companies need information and a means to take action: visibility into their supply chains, transparency into the impacts, tools to capture data and measure effect and change, and collaboration to link the efforts of the many players together. Technology is playing an increasingly strong role in enabling industry to deliver meaningful change at the scale it is needed.

Alexandra Wood: the growth of eCommerce and the impact of our shopping habits
Published by Mountainblog on .
How technology is fuelling how we interact and spend with brands, the impact this has on the environment and growth of returns. How can we get a handle on this and provide shopping experiences that are more personalised? Watch the video interview with Alexandra Wood:
EOG is an association set up to represent the common interests of the European outdoor industry. Originally founded in 2003 by nineteen of the world’s largest Outdoor companies, this group recognised the need for a cohesive, cross border approach to representation of the outdoor sector. We live in a world of increasing internationalism, where legislation, environment, the media and trade are all now multinational issues. The combined strength of EOG member brands, and a close cooperation with national outdoor associations, provides them with an extremely powerful force to represent the European outdoor industry in a constructive and positive manner.
What EOG does? EOG undertakes a number of efforts that will prove to be beneficial to the European industry. Initiatives include: representative market survey, industry workshops, collaboration with European trade shows, co-operation with national trade associations, promotion of best practice.
The Summit is an initiative of the European Outdoor Group (EOG), the association set up to represent the common interests of the European outdoor industry.
As a pan-European organisation the EOG is uniquely placed to support the Summit, which will be held in alternate years in different countries. The national outdoor groups representing these countries will organise each Summit, allowing each event to assume its own identity, content and experience, but with the Summit remaining open to all.
