Conscious Consumers Driving Sustainability and Technology
It’s becoming increasingly clear that the future of our planet and its climate is unlikely to be changed by our politicians (especially at the moment!!), nor the agenda of our big corporates.
The best chance lies in the hands of us as consumers alongside our entrepreneurs, their limitless ideas and their technology.
Therefore, our pitch event this month highlighted 3 founders and their companies at the heart of driving the vital changes necessary.
The quality of both the opportunities and the discussions after each presentation made it abundantly clear that you also agreed with our view, so thank you very much for your support.
