Innovating Net-Zero

Sustainable practices are understood to be an imperative for all organisations. 

We need a shift in focus towards HOW we innovate sustainable strategies and technologies to meet Net-Zero targets. 

In the wake of COP27 and the Non-State Entities Report, emphasis should be placed on how we utilize innovative technologies and systems to assist organizations and sectors in adjusting to the net-zero challenge.

How can sustainable innovation undergird the streamlining of processes and improve organisation’s capacity?

We are thrilled to have such a fantastic line-up of leading experts in the field, who will be sharing their insights on how sustainable innovation can achieve net-zero targets:
