Very excited to announce the UK's leading early stage climate tech companies joining Tech Nation's Climate Programme.
This year, we are focused on critical solutions across biodiversity and nature, food and material innovation, the future of packaging, decarbonising the built environment, energy and mobility.
We will be increasing our focus this year on climate tech adoption. While we remain focused on supporting underdeveloped and underfunded sectors, we are experiencing an inflection point, where there is no longer a green premium across multiple areas and where there is, environmental regulations are beginning to disincentivise business as usual. We will be aiming to support start ups and large organisations on working together to increase the adoption of key solutions.
Already, 75% of organisations have agreed they need climate technologies to reach their net zero goals.
