The key objective of EUKN is to enhance the exchange of knowledge and expertise on urban development throughout Europe, bridging urban policy, research, and practice. EUKN is characterised by a demand-driven approach, based on the needs of urban practitioners and policymakers. EUKN has developed an extensive, high-quality knowledge database, based on shared standards and protocols. This extensive e-library provides free access to case studies, research results, policy documents, context issues, network descriptions, updated news, and meetings. Over the past five years, EUKN has proven itself to be an efficient one-stop urban shop, providing city practitioners, policymakers, project managers, and other users with high-quality urban knowledge and experiences. At the same time, EUKN is more than a virtual knowledge network.

Through putting ESG at the heart of what we do, we achieve better business for our partners, society, and ourselves. Besides ambitiously growing our business, we consider it equally important to operate our business with the highest care and safety standards for our people, the communities we work in, and the environments we live in. We want to make an impact in two ways. Firstly, by helping our customers reduce their CO2 footprint by enabling their transition to sustainable liquids, and secondly by reducing our own emissions. So, we strive for a material share of sustainable revenues, and we commit to net-zero operations by 2040 at the latest.

Based in Addis Ababa, African Bamboo has developed an environmentally friendly thermal process for treating bamboo, called ThermoWood. ThermoWood eliminates signs of decay, making the bamboo, an abundant resource in Ethiopia, a more reliable commodity for farmers to sell. The goal is to make bamboo, which is now vastly underutilized in Ethiopia, a cash crop for the country's farmers. African Bamboo PLC is a forestry, wood, and bio-energy company established in the Netherlands and Ethiopia in January 2012. African Bamboo PLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fortune Enterprise PLC, a privately owned company engaged in wood and metal furniture manufacturing in Addis Ababa since 1961. The furniture industry in Ethiopia is composed of a large number of small-scale and cottage-type furniture making workshops and a few relatively large furniture factories. Fortune Enterprise PLC is one of the largest, best organized, and equipped factories in the country. Today, the company has over 150 permanent employees and reached an annual turnover of EUR 3 million in 2010. For the manufacturing of furniture, Fortune Enterprise PLC mainly works with traditional woods like teak, pine, and some local species. However, these traditional woods are a scarcity in Ethiopia as the country suffers severe deforestation. Ethiopia’s forests are falling from 15 million ha (1990) to 12.3 million ha in 2010, with an annual depletion rate of 140,000 ha per year. Therefore, over the last couple of years, the company looked for sustainable alternatives and quickly realized the potential of bamboo as a source of raw material for furniture and industrial applications. Over the past three years, Fortune Enterprise PLC has been actively engaged in developing its knowledge base and expertise in the bamboo sector, specifically for the industrial and construction-related applications. In January 2012, Fortune Enterprise PLC registered its bamboo business unit, African Bamboo PLC. It is the company's objective to optimize the multi-purpose benefits of bamboo in Ethiopia to its fullest by sustainably exploiting parts of the huge Ethiopian bamboo resources, producing compressed panels and outdoor decking for the export market, as well as clean and high-quality bamboo charcoal briquettes for the local market. That way, the company ensures adaptation to deforestation and meets local energy needs. African Bamboo is striving to become Africa’s largest exporter of high-value bamboo products, providing the world market with a highly competitive and sustainable alternative for hardwood composites.
