🌍 Just wrapped up an inspiring experience at the IMPACT FESTIVAL, where innovators and changemakers gathered to accelerate sustainable transformation! 🚀 A few of our key takeaways: 🔹 Corporate Sustainability Reporting: Many start-ups are zeroing in on sustainability reporting, which not only meets regulatory needs but also helps companies pinpoint areas for improvement, gaining a long-term competitive edge. At the Impact Festival Dinner hosted by Commerzbank AG, this was a major theme, with impressive real-world examples shared from their client network. 🔹 Decarbonizing the Building Sector: With its complexity and cost, the building sector poses a significant decarbonization challenge. Innovative start-ups are working to simplify solutions, supporting customers in managing, financing, and implementing these critical measures—a sector full of exciting potential! 🔹 Tech for Climate Action: Meeting founders driven to solve climate challenges was a highlight. From advancements in storage, biodiversity, and carbon storage in biomaterials to decarbonizing industrial processes and financing renewable projects, it was incredible to see so much cutting-edge tech in one place. 🔹 Catching Up with Klimate.co: A pleasure to reconnect with our portfolio company Klimate.co and Erik Wihlborg and his team, who are making strides in end-to-end carbon removal strategies for businesses. Inspired and energized by the progress and potential seen at #ImpactFestival. Here’s to driving impactful change! #Sustainability #ClimateTech #Innovation

Just and regenerative futures explained. Catalyst’s refreshed vision centres on “shaping liberatory technology for just and regenerative futures”, but what does this actually mean and why is it relevant to our work? Dawn Kofie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇬🇧 🇬🇭 explains all in this article, sharing valuable insights into: ·       The key concepts that are integral to our new vision ·       The reason why we are supporting just and regenerative tech solutions ·       A project working towards a just and regenerative future for its community ·     Our plans to go beyond current DEI and sustainability practices to achieve our vision Read more and don’t forget to share your thoughts on the new language we are using to describe Catalyst’s work. https://lnkd.in/eaXe6k7r #JustAndRegenerativeFutures #OurVision #TechForGood

Feel like doing something with tech to improve the world, not destroy it? Join me and a bunch of like-minded people for a sustainability hackathon on the 8th and 9th of November! I can tell you why I'm motivated for it: I see so many problems happening in the world, and feel little power to change it. Climate change, war, isolation, sicknesses, plastic in our blood stream. Tech is a contributor to many of those problems. But, it doesn't have to be. To use an analogy, a doctor once explained to me that medications weren't meant to remove your personality, but to make the difficulties you face less challenging. Sustainability in tech is very similar - we want to keep having a high quality of life that tech has enabled, but we must do it in ways that doesn't destroy our planet, our societies, ourselves, each other. Tech may even help solve many of these problems. So I'm super excited to hear from our speakers: - Marion Løken from Finn.no - Anna Blechingberg from FTU - Vitalis Pavlovas from Statsbygg - Petter Røkke from SINTEF - Eshan Abdi from Akvaplan And I'm even more excited to then spend some time and energy in a room full of smart people, doing something that matters. Have you already signed up? If not, click the link. I'll see you there 👀 Bring your brain, a laptop, and some good spirit. Everything else we'll provide! And we'll be some from Tekna's network for Developers, too! Anna Kramar, Ali Akhtarzada, Johannes Brodwall https://lnkd.in/dtSx3Fkr

greenwashing noun /ˈɡrēn-ˌwȯ-shiŋ/ Definition: The act or practice of making a product, policy, or activity appear more environmentally friendly or less damaging than it really is. In our 2024 Climate Tech Opportunity Report, we identified the regions in the US going beyond greenwashing and driving real climate action. One standout is Greentown Labs, North America’s largest climate tech incubator, which supports startups developing technologies that reduce carbon emissions and tackle climate change head-on.

As we dive deeper into sustainable solutions for our planet, it's clear that innovation is not just a buzzword but a crucial driving force. In tackling climate change, creating a market that is both scalable and efficient hinges on innovative approaches. Speaking of innovation, let’s talk about the XPRIZE Foundation, a true leader in the global effort for carbon dioxide removal (CDR). What sets them apart? Their commitment to embracing "out-of-the-box" ideas to address global challenges. 🚀 By organizing competitions, XPRIZE isn't just promoting ideas – they're catalyzing the growth of start-ups dedicated to carbon removal. More than that, they're speeding up the technology development lifecycle, bringing us closer to practical, impactful solutions. XPRIZE Carbon Removal Executive Director and Puro Advisory Board member Nikki Batchelor agrees to the need of innovation in the market: “In order to increase the global supply of carbon dioxide removal, we need more start-ups and innovators to get past the idea phase and start building pilot demonstrations to test the scientific and technical viability of their concepts.” Download our E-book here: https://hubs.ly/Q02DpQ2Q0 hashtag#CarbonRemoval hashtag#CDR hashtag#Netzero hashtag#ClimateAction

🌿 "Embracing sustainability is like learning a new language—we must collaborate to build a shared understanding". Scope 3 emissions cover everything from raw material production to product use and end-of-life disposal, making them a challenging aspect of our industry's carbon footprint. What strategies should industry stakeholders adopt to effectively manage Scope 3 emissions together? I brought in an expert to explore different approaches. Sign up to hear from me and Rachel Delacour, CEO and Cofounder of SWEEP at GEN State of Biotech 2024 https://lnkd.in/daSfRCpB.
