In the coastal gem of Tivat, Montenegro, the ESG Adria Summit 2025 has brought together an exceptional coalition of global and regional leaders, investors, and changemakers to shape the future of sustainable business in the Balkans and beyond.
Opening remarks from Sustineri Partners’ Executive Director Biljana Braithwaite, Porto Montenegro’s David Margason, and Tivat’s Mayor Željko Komnenović set the tone for a summit grounded in ambition and action.
The flagship panel, “The Future of Leadership,” featured a remarkable trio: Montenegro’s President Jakov Milatović, Iceland’s former Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir, and Dr. Anino Emuwa—delving into how leadership is evolving amid seismic shifts in technology, climate, and society.
Now in its third year, the summit focuses sharply on sustainable finance, energy transition, artificial intelligence, future-of-work dynamics, and circular economies—positioning ESG not just as a framework, but as the region’s roadmap to resilience.
