HOW DO WE MANAGE THE GREEN TRANSFORMATION?
Sustainability has an immense impact on our economy. It's a great chance for early adopters, but also a risk for those who refuse to transform. We need to collaborate, innovate and act to turn the thread into an opportunity for sustainable growth. As europe's first community-based platform, our purpose is to accelerate the green transformation by connecting the thought-leader of sustainability, especially innovators like green start-ups with corporates and investors.

OUR INNOVATION AREAS
CIRCULAR
ECONOMY
CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Circular Economy is an economic system that aims to eliminate waste through the continual use of resources. It is a core topic of the Green Deal agenda and brings huge opportunities for sustainable and cost-effective production.
RESOURCE
EFFICIENCY
RESOURCE EFFICIENCY
To save natural resources in every aspect of the value chain does not only reduces environmental impact, but also costs. This category therefore includes solutions to save energy, Co2, water or waste in all its forms.
SUPPYCHAIN INNOVATION
SUPPYCHAIN INNOVATION
In our globalized world, supply chains are complex and often don’t meet SDG targets. Technology brings more transparency and efficiency in supply chains and helps companies to meet sustainability standards.
REGULATORY TECHNOLOGY
REGULATORY TECHNOLOGY
The European green deal and the Paris agreement will have huge legal implications for almost all companies. We will present solutions to keep up with new regulations and reporting standards in this space.
SUSTAINABLE
FINANCE
SUSTAINABLE FINANCE
It takes USD 5-7 trillion of annual investments to achieve the SDGs by 2030. The EU taxonomy is a core element to achieve this capital shift. We will present innovative forms of financing and educate about the state of ESG investing.
FUTURE
MOBILITY
FUTURE MOBILITY
Mobility and transportation account for 14% of total greenhouse emissions. Being interconnected and intelligent, green technologies can predict demand, optimize capacity, improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
SUSTAINABLE SERVICES
SUSTAINABLE SERVICES
Managing two transformations (sustainable and digital) at a time is difficult. Specialized service providers like consultancies, law firms or coaches will offer their services to help companies to manage them effectively.
SOCIAL
INNOVATION
SOCIAL INNOVATION
