Robert Kirstiuk: Course correcting our future

Get outside Vancouver city limits with the cofounder and CEO of Freshline, a global supply chain innovations company.

Robert Kirstiuk values access. "Being able to get out into the woods and not have to worry about range in a vehicle I know isn't really harming the environment makes it more enjoyable to drive."

This value of access guides Freshline. The software start-up is democratizing the global food supply chain for a more sustainable, digital-first future. "We can drive efficiency in the supply chain and share that information more quickly and in a more seamless way. That eliminates a lot of food waste."

"I think generally our trajectory is trending towards something more positive."

But across stadiums and on our screens, we’re witnessing a real-time shift. One where pioneers are forging their own path, diversity is championed, and performance isn’t bound by gender. Both Polestar and the Melbourne Football Club believe progress comes when you challenge boundaries and act with purpose. It was these shared values that led Polestar to join the Demons as a Major Partner ahead of the 2025 AFLW season.

The art of innovation: how creativity shapes the future of design

The art world is a catalyst for free thinking and new ideas. It challenges conventions, pushes boundaries, and invites us to reimagine the world around us through the use of materials, colours, and forms in unexpected ways. For Maria Uggla, Polestar’s Head of Colour and Material, the world of art is rich with inspiration, and is one of many areas from which she draws from to inform her work. Travelling from her home in Sweden to the Melbourne Art Fair in Australia, she sees not just an opportunity to explore artistic expression from the other side of the world, but a chance to gather inspiration that could help shape the next generation of Polestar’s sustainable automotive materials.
