What happens when you stop waiting to be ready and just start saying yes? In this episode, we sit down with Estonian powerhouse Jana Budkovskaja, CEO of Beamline Accelerator and a fearless force in the cleantech space, who’s reshaping the future of sustainability — one bold decision at a time.

From helping governments rethink innovation to mentoring startups navigating climate challenges, Jana’s journey is anything but typical.
