Director and Climate Technology Lead, KPMG Australia | Sustainability | ESG | Business Strategy & Development | Climate Technology | DEI
I am so proud of the exceptional talent we've unearthed through our annual KPMG Global Tech Innovator challenge. This year, the competition was fierce, with 155 high-powered entries and 5 incredible finalists vying for the chance to represent our country on the world stage. But Gelomics, led by CEO and Co-founder, Christoph Meinert, PhD bagged the award. What makes Gelomics particularly special is its passion for eliminating the need for animal testing, and addressing ethical concerns that have long plagued the pharmaceutical sector. This is their chance to showcase Australian innovation on the world's largest startup and technology stage, Lisbon’s Web Summit rubbing shoulders with 70,000 investors, policymakers, and industry leaders. It's a remarkable opportunity, and I wish Gelomics all the very best. Congratulations to all our finalists: ✅ Dovetail Electric Aviation, led by David Doral uses electric motors and battery packs to turn existing airframes into zero-emission commercial aircraft. ✅ Eden Brew led by Jim Fader uses precision fermentation to brew dairy proteins. ✅InTruth Technologies led by Nicole Gibson builds a wearable-compatible app to track your emotional state in real-time. ✅ Sustainable Salons led by Paul Frasca who collects and repurposes waste materials like hair, metals, plastics, and chemicals.

Congratulations Wollemi Capital for your participation in another incredible investment into a critical solution for decarbonisation- #greencement, with Fortera closing their Series C , and now set to further deploy ReCarb plants creating more market opportunities for green cement. And congratulations to CEO, Ryan Gilliam and the team at Fortera. Also Congratulations to the ecosystem of investors in their capital raising series- Khosla Ventures, Temasek, NOVA by Saint-Gobain, Presidio Ventures, and Alumni Ventures
We’re proud to share our participation in the Series C funding round for advanced materials manufacturer Fortera, whose technology is paving a pathway to zero C02 cement production. #Concrete and #cement are foundational elements of our #BuiltEnvironment, but their contributions to global emissions are similarly substantial. Cement production alone represents 8% of total CO2 emissions globally. Unlike traditional cement manufacturing methods, which emit almost a ton of CO2 for every ton of useable product, Fortera’s proprietary ReCarb technology intercepts carbon dioxide exhaust from the kilns where cement is made and routes it back in to make lower-carbon cement. This unique tech is the result of over 100,000 hours of research and development, supported by more than 100 issued and pending global patents and over a decade of real-world product testing. And, crucially, it’s a turnkey, bolt-on #decarbonisation solution that integrates into existing cement plant infrastructures. In the words of Wollemi Director Natalie Volpe, “Fortera does what previous green cement technologies have failed to do—it works with cement companies to provide an accessible solution to a cleaner industry. The compatibility with today’s ecosystem makes us confident that Fortera’s process is the most effective technology to decarbonise cement and achieve meaningful climate impact more quickly.” This US$85m funding round will accelerate the commercialisation, scaling and deployment of Fortera’s technology. Wollemi is delighted to be investing alongside Temasek, Khosla Ventures, NOVA by Saint-Gobain, Presidio Ventures and Alumni Ventures, and bringing both capital and specialist expertise in financing next generation infrastructure projects to support the development of Fortera’s future plants. For further detail and to see why we’re so excited about Fortera’s decarbonisation potential, head to the comments field for links where you can learn more. #greencement #lowcarboncement #industrialdecarbonisation

The Climate Zeitgeist is happening! A zeitgeist is ‘the defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas and beliefs of the time’… A climate action movement is underway. This is a race against time that we have to win. There are investors, corporations, communities, entrepreneurs, governments and individuals all playing a dedicated role in fighting the good fight to make a difference on the path to net zero. But as the world continues to break its own records - the hottest day, the highest recorded concentration of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, a species extinction crisis, the most number of humans to ever live on the planet – we need to connect the dots and collaborate like never before. “In short, our world needs climate action on all fronts — everything, everywhere, all at once.” - United Nations Secretary General - António Guterres Our mission, focus, and determination of the Climate Investor Forum is to create a meeting place where those at the forefront of the global climate transition can gather for commercial interaction and professional relationship development. This is where connections are made. This is where deals are done. In March 2025, at the 3rd Annual Climate Investor Forum, we are building on the successful national platform to elevate the event to become an even more high calibre network, and an international destination for investors and major corporates. The countdown begins… ▶ Sponsor- PARTNER WITH US 💫 Partner with us to position your company as a national leader and international player in the climate investment landscape for the Asia Pacific region and beyond. https://lnkd.in/gSSAXdgr ▶ Register- EARLY BIRD OPEN 🔑 WITH LIMITED SEATS 💺 Be in the room and connect directly and build personal relationships with inspiring, innovative investors, corporate executives, technology leaders, and government agencies. https://lnkd.in/gcQD7HMN ▶ Exhibit- LIMITED SPACES ☄ Position your company and products with full day exposure in front of key decision makers- in one of few and very limited spaces available at the MCG networking area. https://lnkd.in/gZUUMJGH Contact us directly for any enquiries - [email protected] Peter Castellas Michele Hartz
