INDUSTRY FOCUS: CLEAN TECHNOLOGY

Continued from page 6

“The climate crisis presents the biggest potential threat to our lifestyle and way of life as we know it but also the greatest business challenge and opportunity of our time.

“Global Britain has the opportunity to lead the clean technology revolution with our world leading businesses universities service sector and dynamic startups,” says Fox.

Importantly, like Prime Minister

Sunak, he views the energy transition as an opportunity and an opening rather than a problem or barrier.

“I am delighted to see such an exciting project choosing London for its inaugural event,” Sunak said. “Innovation Zero beings together trade and investment, finance, energy, and environmental specialists and puts them alongside the best of our innovators and businesses who see decarbonisation as an opportunity, not a problem. It is through creative thinking and action like this that we will create the jobs and prosperity on which we all depend, while providing the technological solutions to the climate change challenge we all face.”

STELLAR LINE-UP

Two companies that will be present at the conference are Levidian and WKE. Levidian is a UK clean tech innovator developing technology to create hydrogen and graphene from methane, decarbonising and developing a highly useful product at the same time. WKE is a science-based innovator helping industrial clients to reduce energy bills and carbon emissions by creating new fuel sources from waste often destined for landfill. Both companies are relatively young, and both are on strong growth trajectories. Given the chance to scale and partner on national or international projects, these companies alone could have a profound impact on carbon emissions and environmental protection while generating significant financial results at the same time. This is one of the long-term outcomes for Innovation Zero alongside policy transformation, technological advancements, and cultural shift.

“This is the only event being designed and built to deliver this transition,” says Fox.

Free to attend, with 200 exhibitors, a world-class speaker programme, and a range of unique and intensive focus group sessions, there is sure to be something for everyone, and the knowledge share will be unlike any other event in 2023.

As organisations hunt for opportunities and sparks of positivity, Innovation Zero promises a platform for progress. It is more than just a vehicle for discussions—it is a call to action. By uniting brilliant minds and change makers.

Dr Nina Seega will speak on behalf of the Centre for Sustainable Finance, CISL. “Innovation Zero has been an amazing platform for bringing together a variety of actors within the financial system, so bringing financial eco systems together with mainstream actors as well,” she says.

Beverley Gower-Jone OBE, CEO at the Clean Growth Fund says: “It’s a great opportunity to meet with other likeminded investors, to meet entrepreneurs who are with their start-up companies looking for funding, but also engage in the wider ecosystem such as corporates, regulators, and supply chain firms, all of whom are on this decarbonisation journey across the myriad of different sectors that it impacts.”

CEO at Aimava and Director at CirculOil, Andrew Gaule is looking forward to the speaker roster. “I think we’re going to see fantastic speakers, we’re going to have engaging panels where we’re going to hear from people doing really great things, and also the quality of the networking with other participants.”

Now is an important time to further discussions, ideas, and concepts, and if the Terminator himself is voicing concerns over slow progress, it is time to ramp up.

“People, technology, and collaboration will together solve the climate emergency,” concludes Fox.
