September 16, 2022 — Stockholm, Sweden — Beetroot, an impact-driven tech ecosystem operating in Tech and Education, is celebrating its 10th anniversary today. The group of companies has achieved a notable impact in Ukraine, infusing nearly $50 million into the country’s economy in 2021. The founders expressed strong determination to now grow sustainably in Bulgaria and Poland where the ecosystem established presence earlier this year.

“Beetroot has evolved from a couple of Swedes’ backpack startup to an international tech ecosystem,” commented Andreas Flodström, Co-Founder and CEO of Beetroot. “But the positive impact remains a red thread for us ever since.”
Founded in 2012 by the Swedish students Andreas Flodström and Gustav Henman, Beetroot is a social enterprise encompassing 600+ people across Sweden, Bulgaria, Ukraine, and Poland.
Beetroot’s sustainability efforts are aligned with 8 out of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by global leaders in 2015. The ecosystem enables tech startups, purpose-driven companies, individuals, and organizations to engage in and expand this reach through the following channels:
- Building sustainable tech teams in small and midsize cities to develop local economies
- Teaching and mentoring at Beetroot Academy to empower people’s growth in the digital economy
