🔆IMPULZ 2026 Conference 🔆

On 21 October, the Envirodual team attended the IMPULZ 2026 conference at the Ljubljana Exhibition and Convention Centre. We followed the programme on both stages, VISION and LAB, where strategic discussions were paired with concrete examples from practice.

🔍 Several topics stood out as closely connected to our work:

🔹 From data to the use of artificial intelligence: Discussions on the VISION stage highlighted the importance of high-quality, accessible data for better decision-making. The LAB stage complemented this with examples of how companies are adopting AI, from initial pilots to integration into work processes, automation and responsible use.

🔹 Circularity as a change in how we do business: Alongside technological solutions, we need business models that encourage longer product use, repair and the return of materials into use. Jacqueline Cramer emphasised the importance of building partnerships, defining clear responsibilities and coordinating leadership of the transformation.

🔹 Digital and circular construction in practice: On the LAB stage, pilot cases from the DECORATOR project and experiences from the BAUHALPS project showed how the principles of circular construction and the New European Bauhaus are being tested in practice. The speakers also highlighted the integration of green and blue-green infrastructure.

🔹 People and knowledge as the foundation of change: Introducing new technologies also requires developing employees’ skills. The presentation by Telekom Slovenije and discussions on the jobs of the future raised the question of how to prepare people to work with AI and collaborate with automated systems.

At Envirodual, we bring these topics together in our work on the energy and environmental transition, climate resilience and sustainable mobility. One question guides us throughout: how can we turn knowledge and data into actionable measures that benefit people and the environment? 🌍

We would like to thank the organisers, Ladeja Godina Košir, and all the speakers for the opportunity to exchange knowledge and practical experience, and for the encouragement to continue building connections.
