After Donald Trump axed all diversity and inclusion programmes in the U.S. government, Europe's startups are bracing for the fallout. At London's Sustainability Expo, our UK correspondent Mattias Karén took the pulse of British impact companies and organisations to see how they’re reacting.
Efforts to promote diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the tech sector were already under pressure even before last year’s U.S. elections. Now that Donald Trump is cracking down on all government DEI programs in the States, is there any way of stopping such rollbacks from spreading to Europe as well?
When Impact Loop visited Sustainability Expo, one of London's major impact events, last week, there was plenty of optimism that DEI would remain a priority.
