About us
Our vision is a world where humans thrive as stewards & beneficiaries of ecological abundance.
Our vision is Gaiacene.
How we arrived at Gaiacene
Gaiacene is a powerful mindset to help unleash human innovation and creativity for socio-ecological abundance. Drawing insights from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy models, which emphasize the interplay of thoughts, emotions, decisions, and actions, we at Gaiacene Labs assert the importance of redirecting our minds toward positive outcomes. Thus, our work is dedicated to steering conversations towards the socio-ecological future we envision—Gaiacene.
Leading the Way
At the heart of our mission, we are dedicated to revolutionizing sustainability transformation by applying a decentralised approach, building from the inside-out. We bring to the table experience in financial and technology innovation, scientific research and ecology, all aimed at promoting true transformation.
Our history
Expertise in Ecosystems and Financial Markets
Our expertise lies in understanding and enhancing the intricate connections between financial markets and ecosystems. Our work took on new dimensions following pivotal global environmental assessments, leading us to collaborate closely with think tanks and multilateral development banks. We focus on integrating ecosystem services into financial decision-making, helping achieve broader development goals while preserving natural capital.
Innovation at the Forefront: Sustainable Fintech
In our commitment to finding practical, forward-thinking solutions, we established Stockholm Green Digital Finance in 2017. As the world's first center to synergize sustainability with financial technology, we've pioneered uncharted territories, significantly accelerating the growth of sustainable finance. A key achievement has been the creation of the Green Assets Wallet, the first global blockchain platform for high-impact asset allocation in the green debt market.
Global Collaboration and Educational Initiatives
Our influence extends globally, with key roles in establishing initiatives like the UN Financial Centers for Sustainability (UNFC4S), to an environmental research network in the Mekong region. Our backgrounds also include academic platforms, like the Mistra Financial Systems program at the Stockholm School of Economics and the Stockholm Resilience Centre. Our commitment to education and collaboration is unwavering, as seen in our contributions to various forums and panels.
Inspiration and Creativity
We believe in the creative power that comes from inspirational experiences and personal wellness. Our team embodies this philosophy. We find inspiration through breathwork and forest baths, in culture and art, in other words experiences that unleash human creativity.
Join us in our journey towards creating a sustainable, abundant future. Together, we can redefine the landscape for true change -born from within each of us- and make a lasting impact on our planet and its people.
