In March 2023, the UK Government published its updated Green Finance Strategy, entitled 'Mobilising Green Investment'. This strategy includes three chapters: Foundations, Align and Invest. Throughout the paper there are many references to digital tech and the key role of data and analytics in enabling the Government's ambition.
techUK, in collaboration with the Centre for Greening Finance and Investment and London & Partners, will bring together stakeholders and innovators to address the Government's strategy in the first Green Finance Data and Analytics Summit.
On the day, we will cover the intersection between tech, finance, and sustainability. ESG ratings, transition plans, international sustainability frameworks, Climate metrics and green taxa, playing a role in aligning the financial sector towards sustainable outcomes.
Investment roadmaps, open data, geospatial finance, knowledge management and risk modelling will facilitate investment to complement this alignment. We are excited to be planting the flag on this new and exciting area of policy and growth. We hope to have your company on the day.
