The last 12 months have shown a clear intention globally to respond to the climate crisis and achieve net zero.
The urgency of the climate crisis is now starting to attract rapidly increasing investment flows into climate related technology solutions and companies. Innovators, together with investors, are vital players to bring novel technologies and disruptive approaches to industry as we build a new future, and as business look at how to incorporate innovative solutions into their business practices.
Early stage investment into climate tech is growing fast, with government-backed asset managers and private equity players increasingly engaging in earlier stage deals to get exposure, and corporate players, from oil majors to Big Tech, playing important roles in scaling up technologies at speed.
This event will connect global leading entrepreneurs, corporates, investors, academics and policy-makers to explore how to accelerate the pace of innovation. This element of the Net Zero Festival will showcase the innovation that will underpin the Net Zero economy and explore how to catalyse technological progress and deployment.
