🌿 Green Tech was shining at #VIVATECH! 🌿 I was thrilled to see Green Tech in the spotlight at VIVATECH, a couple of weeks ago. A few facts I found interesting to be reminded of: 💪15% of start-ups showcased were Clean Tech  📈Investment in Clean Tech is set to double by 2027 💸France  already counts 3,000 Clean Tech start-ups, with 33% of tech funds raised last year going to that sector 🤝Most large corporations present at Vivatech were showcasing innovative partnerships with those Clean Techs The key challenges the sector is facing were well distilled in the VivaTech panels: 💰Financing gaps beyond Series A for “First of a Kind Innovations” and longer-horizon ROI and the need for innovating financing schemes 🫰“Green Premium” for some of those new technologies ⚖️The complex measurement of holistic environmental impacts, beyond just carbon 🤔The many barriers for companies to leverage those innovations 🌡️ A recent Harvard/Northwestern study predicts that if temperatures rise by +2°C by 2100, 50% of GDP and 31% of global purchasing power are at risk. The urgency is clear. It was also very inspiring meeting innovators like Ÿnsect, SEREEMA, Callendar - Climate Intelligence, WASE LIMITED, Les Fermes Lufa / Lufa Farms, Les Ripeurs, and many more A big thank you to  La French Tech for the invitation! #CleanTech #VivaTech2024 #Sustainability #GreenTech #FrenchTech

Where does systems change start? What are the right pathways and approaches? Who are the stakeholders? What are their roles? We are thinking deeply about these in the context of rural ecosystems at Innovation Guild. We recently did a partners workshop where we aligned on taking a bottom up approach for bringing innovations to the community. We are committed to building an accessible platform for this and would like to hear from you if you are working or thinking about rural ecosystems.

#Greentech - or just tech? At Woop Woop for Nature we're committed to scaling large scale, practical action for nature, so over the past year we've been putting on our ecological restoration hats and diving deep into the world of #Agtech, #Climatetech and #Naturetech. What did we learn? 🚀 🌍💡Green tech is exploding with innovation, and investors are loving it too. 👩🚀 From high-tech machinery to bold promises and attention-grabbing stunts, there’s no shortage of exciting developments across the restoration life cycle. 🤳 But- does greentech restore ecosystems? We're not convinced, yet. There's lots of claims around, but they are often very short on the evidence. How can we make sure greentech has an ecological impact? 👩🔬 Ecosystem restoration is a nature-based problem and a specialised field of science, so invest in teams that deeply understand nature and develop tech solutions accordingly. 🔬 Humans have been planting for thousands of years but ecosystem restoration is an emerging science. Build on the evidence base and learn quickly with rapid iterations. 👩🌾 Learn from our friends the farmers. They know how to grow stuff, plus there's an enormous amount of Agtech just waiting to be used in ecosystem restoration. 🥚 Don't overegg the tech- sometimes plants just need the right niche, some food and water, and a bit of love. There's lots to learn- but we think there are exciting times ahead for nature and tech as we rapidly scale ecosystem restoration 🚀🌍

🌊 4 Weeks Since TechBBQ – Oceanark’s Inspiring Conversations 🌍 It’s been a month since Oceanark Group attended TechBBQ 2024 in Copenhagen, and we’re still reflecting on the amazing people we met and the inspiring conversations we had. A few highlights from our time there: ➡ We had a great chat with Nejc Novak and Biel Fernandez Marti from Anemo Robotics , who are doing fascinating work on monitoring the impact of wind farms on biodiversity and marine life. Their dedication to making green energy even greener really resonated with us, and we can’t wait to see how their innovations shape the future. 🌱🐟 ➡ We also had the pleasure on meeting Josephine Kleiner from Bobbie & Beastie, who shared her expertise in building go-to-market strategies with rapid experimentation. Her approach to sustainable growth with the motto “Test fast, fix later” was so refreshing and aligned perfectly with the way we think about innovation. 🚀💡 ➡ Our conversation with Frederik Barsøe, a PR & Comms specialist, left us with some brilliant new ideas on how to elevate our communication strategies. His insights into impactful storytelling and effective messaging have already influenced how we’re thinking about our own outreach. 📣✨ Meeting people with such passion and drive for sustainability, innovation, and growth was a real highlight of TechBBQ for us. If we didn’t get a chance to meet in person, we’d still love to connect! Whether you’re in tech, sustainability, or communications, let’s keep the conversation going. . . . . #Oceanark #TechBBQ2024 #Biodiversity #MarineLife #Sustainability #Innovation #AnemoRobotics #BobbieAndBeastie #PR #LetsConnect #FutureTech #AquacultureSustainability #Aquaculture
