As COP29 ends, global leaders have announced their latest planned actions on tackling climate change. This will include more funding for climate action, stronger climate promises, shifting to clean energy and preparing for climate impacts.
These actions are all aimed at building a sustainable future, focussing on the COP29 theme of ‘investing in a liveable planet for all.’
With this in mind, we focussed on sustainability for our November pitch events, featuring early and growth stage opportunities with founders and their businesses excelling in this space.
Huge thanks to our guest speakers, Jenna Browne and Paul Ioannou, for their insights into sustainability, impact and creating social value, and their valuable feedback to our founder clients.
All the businesses and investment opportunities that featured are highlighted below, with PACP partner contact details for more information and to request investor decks. They can also arrange meetings directly with the founders.
Also below, a reminder of our ‘Fashion Focus’ event coming up on 10th December 2024.
