Accelerating Innovations: From Seed to IPO

29 Apr 2025
Main Stage
Finance

Leading financiers will join innovators onstage to 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?

As investors share innovative financing models and debate the regulatory landscape required to promote growth, entrepreneurs will share what they need to move from R&D stage to factory building and mass production, and beyond.
