After an isolating pandemic period, we were very happy to meet again for the realization of the next edition of SF´23 (Sustainability Festival 2023). Previous editions were held during s series of  Sustainability Week events, but this one, held in April, was fresh, creative, and inspiring...., in short, the spring's dynamic creativity was beneficial for the festival's success in all dimensions in a truly revitalizing way.
