Landing at the Innovation Zero sustainability conference in London!

Greetings! We hope you are enjoying hearing from our guests in Cornwall! There is plenty more to come, but this week we’re going to take a short hiatus to report live from the show floor at the Innovation Zero sustainability conference in London.

We will be meeting and greeting attendees, particularly start-up and SME founders, asking for their thoughts on the challenges they face working towards Net Zero, who they want to hire, and what they need to scale. We’ll also keep an ear out for policy announcements, and try to pin down a policymaker or two to ask what their plans may mean for SMEs specifically.

As usual, we’ll focus on finding the companies delivering genuinely innovative and interesting solutions, particularly those featuring on this shortlist in the running to receive awards for promising and established Net Zero solutions across 6 categories: Energy & Power – Transport, Logistics & Supply Chain – Industry – Measuring, Reporting and Verification – Land & Water – Built Environment.

Here’s an example of potential winners in the Transport, Logistics & Supply Chain category:

We are already in touch with several of the founders but please take a look at the (extensive!) list and let us know if there are any companies you specifically want to hear from and we can make time to speak with their team either at the show or shortly afterwards. 

We will drop a short episode featuring a few show voices over the next few days, followed by more from the Innovation Zero show and awards, before returning to finish coursing through Cornwall at a later date.
