Climate-tech boom: Lessons from past failures! Six takeaways that redefine success in the era of green innovation. https://bit.ly/41JgH7p

"While green transition seems to be running with two engines, the secret to success lies in the ability to ensure that they are pulling towards the same direction." Dr. Terhi (TJ) Vapola sat down with BIG Business Insight Group to discuss about what is needed to succeed in green transition and the roles of both startups and big companies in the process. Read the whole thing below! 👇🏼

Building global capacity for innovative sustainability solutions is vital for achieving climate and nature goals. While early-stage start-ups hold the key to groundbreaking technologies, attracting support in today's uncertain landscape requires risk-embracing investors. John Dutton, Head of UpLink, a World Economic Forum initiative, stresses the importance of purpose-driven communities in providing visibility and backing for early-stage ventures. In an interview, he highlights the critical role these start-ups play in developing over 50% of the technology required for the climate transition. Investing in and supporting early-stage start-ups is a strategic move to drive net-zero ambitions, urging policymakers, corporate leaders, and investors to rally behind the innovation-led ecosystem. #Sustainability #Innovation #ClimateAction #Startups #UpLinkImpact

“At the time I felt very anxious, hopeless, and like these problems were completely unsolvable.” - Hannah Ritchie The Climate Crisis and Industrialization are opposite sides of the same coin. Therefore, we are in the early-stages of the largest sector-driven investment opportunity of our lifetime - the technology-driven refashioning of industrial supply chains to mitigate the climate crisis.

Business & Climate Super interesting round table about investing in climate startups Jamie Gilbert and Bastien Gambini Happy to see how investment on green tech has trippled since 2021 BBVA Spark summit 2024 #business #climate #sustainability

A recent blog post about some of the challenges early stage companies face in the climatech and cleantech sector. It's quite a new and niche sector so what are some of the unique challenges? #blog #climatech #productmarketing

It's more important than ever for cleantech companies to have the space, and the resources, to scale quickly. That's why it's so encouraging to see Foresight Canada give a platform to 11 high-impact startups (including Manitoba's own Carbon Lock Tech!). Each startup has the potential to reduce or remove half a gigatonne of CO2e by 2050 - that's the kind of mission-driven growth we need to see more of. There's still time to register for the event and witness the pitches, alongside impact investors in this crucial industry: https://lnkd.in/gUVYqVpP

Here is what you are voting for: "The effects of climate change continue to break grim records this year. The mercury is climbing. Species are dying. Atmospheric carbon is concentrating. But entrepreneurs keep inventing new technologies to counter these trends. Trellis’s annual 25 Climate Tech Startups to Watch features startup innovations for everything from plant-waste plastics to less toxic batteries to carbon dioxide removal. New climate technologies are critically needed — and proving resilient to a recent funding slowdown. Climate startups raised $3.4 billion, or 4.8 percent of all VC fundraising, in the first half of 2024. That’s up from 2 percent in 2023, according to Pitchbook’s 2024 Climate Tech Funds Report. Federal policies such as the Inflation Reduction Act, plus new U.S. and European Union regulations, offer a fresh push for businesses to adopt low-carbon solutions. Large corporations seek innovations from new ventures." We would love to be one of those 25 climate start-ups to make a change. Thank you for your support!
