Varying Yukawas open new possibilities for electroweak baryogenesis. In this talk I will start by introducing varying Yukawas as a source of CP-violation and explain how baryogenesis can be successful in this framework. I will then present a realization of this paradigm in Composite Higgs models with partial compositeness. Composite Higgs models are, apart from the usual benefits, particularly compelling for this scenario as they feature an intimate link between flavour and Higgs physics. We will see that baryogenesis can be successful in these models if the confinement phase transition happens at the same time as the electroweak phase transition. I will identify regions in parameter space where this is fulfilled and I will compute the baryon yield of those models.
