Description

What actually happens inside a fermentation tank? Nicolai Tangen sits down with Ester Baiget, CEO of Novonesis, to explore the science and business behind enzymes. The company uses fermentation to create natural alternatives to chemicals found in the food we eat and products we use. From yogurt to bread to laundry detergent, Novonesis solutions are already in things you use every day. They discuss why European regulations slow down innovation, how the company finds the right microbes and enzymes for each customer need, and what makes employees so passionate about the mission. Ester also shares her leadership philosophy and what drives her as a leader. Tune in for an insightful conversation!

In Good Company is hosted by Nicolai Tangen, CEO of Norges Bank Investment Management. New full episodes every Wednesday, and don't miss our Highlight episodes every Friday.
