Hardware #climatetech investments will total €270 trillion by 2050, according to this NGFS Net Zero scenario detailed by McKinsey & Company. The amount, distributed over three decades, is nearly three times the world's annual GDP. Mobility, power, and buildings represent the three largest areas of investment.

At the global edition of the Green Business Building Summit, The Climate Brick was a focal point of discussion. More than 500 green leaders from across the world joined the event, arranged by McKinsey & Company in Stockholm. The Climate Brick's co-founder Ted Persson, partner at EQT Ventures, had the opportunity to spread our message to key stakeholders in the climate tech ecosystem:   → We need to establish a common framework for funding and scaling climate tech, involving diverse stakeholders who have historically been unaccustomed to each other. → Now, they need to start speaking the same language. → When they don't, stakeholder misalignment creates friction that slows down the net-zero transition. → Together we need to accelerate – and that's what The Climate Brick initiative is about. Thanks McKinsey and everyone present for a great event!
