IO+ Week: Series that matter
Every Sunday, our weekly review offers an overview of the most interesting stories around important innovations.
Published on May 25, 2025
Bart, co-founder of Media52 and Professor of Journalism oversees IO+, events, and Laio. A journalist at heart, he keeps writing as many stories as possible.
Seven days a week, we publish around five fresh articles per day on relevant developments in the world of innovation. These are usually one-offs, articles that are highly topical. But we also produce a couple of highly interesting series, mainly because of the importance of the subject. Here are a few examples.
Green Transition Drivers
Reducing emissions, optimizing the use of resources, and introducing green energy are some of the practices we need to adopt in order to transition to a greener economy. But who is behind the green transition? In our series Green Transition Drivers, we profile entrepreneurs and innovators who are committed to making our economy greener.

Watt Matters in AI
