Transparency and confidence in carbon emissions reporting, for businesses’ own activity and the wider ecosystem within which they work, are crucial as we move closer to the UK’s mandated environmental targets.
To drive forward meaningful progress organisations are demanding better methods for quantifying carbon emissions and understanding how best to mitigate impact.
Following the success of our showcase earlier this year, techUK is launching a second Tech Led Decarbonisation Showcase for 2024 in which investors and interested stakeholders can hear from some of the very best digital tech innovators on how their solutions can help organisations deliver lower emissions.
The event will include ‘lightning presentations’ of around 10 minutes in which our innovators will pitch to organisations looking to utilise more technology in their net zero journey. This will then be followed by a Q&A session to address any specific questions or areas of collaboration before a networking lunch.
Whilst aimed in particular at SMEs looking to decarbonise, the event is open to anyone interested in hearing from our presenters.
The full agenda will be announced in the coming weeks.
