Are you curious about the global market opportunities for cutting-edge climate technology innovations in the Proptech sector?    Last week, the Recotech Breakfast brought together CRE forerunners for an inspiring and vivid morning seminar that brought up-to-date information on Sponda Ltd's portfolio-level actions in climate resilience. In addition, PT1 provided an insightful overview of the European market and opportunities to invest in transformative real estate technologies.       🌱 What does this mean for the members of Rakli and the built environment sector? The loss of biodiversity in parallel with climate change is an urgent call for all of us to act now, to mitigate climate change and drive portfolio resilience. Learning about sustainability actions from pioneers like Sponda is the key to getting ahead of the curve. In addition, close collaboration with pan-European Proptech ecosystems and investment in green transition technologies through PT1's professional selection will contribute to this goal. 🤝 Proactive collaboration is urgently needed to make a difference. Contact Rakli, Sponda, and PT1 for further discussion on how to proceed.

https://lnkd.in/e5FY8Sgw Great to read this report from PwC and SustainabilityWorks making it clear that support, enablement and investment for innovative, climate tech companies are imperative if the country’s ambitions of net zero by 2050 are to be achieved. This validates the core purpose of Bord na Móna’s #AccelerateGreen programme which has supported 42 Irish innovative STEM start-ups and SME’s since its inception at the end of 2021. I’m proud to be a part of this team and excited to meet the next cohorts joining the programme over the coming weeks to see how we can help them achieve deep impact. Specifically, we are interested in established, scaling, climate technology companies. They will ideally be high-growth SMEs who are pivoting to the climate change economy. Earlier stage, innovation-driven enterprises are interesting too, preferably in the technology, engineering or science space.
