"Sustainability isn’t just an option—it’s a necessity". I’m excited to share my latest initiative, which is a comprehensive roadmap designed to guide every sustainable focused organizations toward transparent and accountable climate-related disclosures. This roadmap outlines the critical steps businesses need to take to not only meet compliance but also lead the way in #sustainablepractices. By embracing these guidelines, every #biotechnology companies can shape a future where environmental responsibility is at the core of every decision. #climatechange #sustainability #MNC #carbonfootprints #startup

📽️ Watch our Chief Brand Officer Kevin Wright talk to Innovation Zero about why events like theirs are so important for businesses like ours, who are scaling up, influencing opinion and tackling big environmental problems. 🗣️“We get to share our mission of helping to change the way we value our water, and we can communicate the issue that in about ten years time without meaningful change, our supply of our water is going to outstrip the demand. 🗣️“Our invention is unique because it takes a technological solution, so you can monitor data; water use, temperature, volume… but at the same time we use the data to nudge and prompt people to make better decisions about how they value every drop they've got.” #ClimateSolutions #ClimateEvents #WaterScarcity #WaterTech #UKStartups

🌍🌡 Climate change is an enormous challenge, and it takes giant leaps of innovation to master. These innovations are rarely developed by established industry players but more often by start-ups thinking outside the box. 🚀 We are proud of our #ClimateTech portfolio companies and their great achievements in the areas of green energy, energy efficiency, and infrastructure. They are the driving force of change! 💸 However, climate-tech start-ups face a difficult funding situation. The Sustainable Finance-Beirat just published a study by Fridtjof Detzner and Elisabeth L. titled “Shaping the future is hard” analyzing the status quo and pointing out possible solutions. 📄 Get the study via the link in the comments.

🔹Grasping the Potential of Disruptive Technologies Panel Highlights at Hello Tomorrow 🔹 The journey to harness disruptive technologies involves significant effort, time, and resources, especially in addressing complex issues like sustainability in the construction industry. Disruptive innovation, unlike incremental improvements, requires a deep understanding of consumer needs and thorough data analysis to identify impactful ideas. For instance, the construction sector's reliance on concrete highlights the urgent need for eco-friendly alternatives to reduce environmental impact and combat climate change. Achieving this involves not just innovation but also regulatory compliance and strategic resource management. By targeting niche areas and fostering collaboration between large corporations and startups, industries can drive significant, sustainable change.

Water tech VC funding remains a small fraction of cleantech investments, with $470 million invested in 2021 compared to nearly $27 billion in climate tech in the first half of 2022 💧. The water sector's heavy regulatory landscape, low margins and  long project timelines contribute to that disparity as observed with recent Thames Water scandals.   However, recent developments suggest a shift in VC funding opportunities: - PFAS Scandal: 🇫🇷 As observed in France last month, the PFAS (or forever chemicals) scandals originating from the US are expanding to Europe. Industries must start treating their wastewater more rigorously, creating significant revenue potential for wastewater treatment startups and their VCs.   - Supply and Demand Dynamics: Freshwater demand is now projected to surpass supply by 40% by 2030 according to the World Economic Forum ⚖️. Going back to ECON101 principles, higher demand means prices will rise, enhancing revenue prospects for water startups and VC returns.   - Increased Public Funding: Recent investments in water quality across Europe and North America is encouraging private sector investment. An example? The Biden administration dedicated $27 billion for clean water projects in the IRA 🇺🇸.     The water tech sector is poised for growth. It's amazing to see VCs recognising the untapped potential and slowly investing in the future of water technology.
