Accelerating Innovations: From Seed to IPO

29 Apr 2025
Main Stage
Start-Ups Funders (Investors & Lenders)

Leading financiers will discuss the main barriers to scaling innovations through successive funding rounds. How can we take a fledging FOAK technology from early stage and bring it to mass market so it can help catalyse the net zero transition? How do we bridge funding gaps and save start-ups and scale-ups from the infamous valley of death? Speakers across the sustainable finance community share innovative financing models and debate the regulatory landscape required to promote growth
