A New 'Hyper-Conference'
An Accelerated Day of Innovation, Collaboration, Strategy and Change-making.
18 Sep 2024
12:00 pm - 6:00 pm
The Innovation Collaboration Gatherings are a new concept in ‘Hyper-Conferences’. Smaller, private, targeted, sprint conferences of key people that collaborate to augment sustainability action and output specifically in the corporate sector. Brought to you by SUSXL and Sustainable Ventures, we carefully curate the day's proceedings, participants, talks and interactions to drive meaningful new action and partnerships (that deliver) at an accelerated pace.
We are made up of heads of important corporate companies, innovative startups and scaleups, policymakers, VCs, funders and key thinkers in the sustainability ecosystem. We measure our success in fruitful partnerships, collaborations and action.
Agenda
Tackling corporate sustainability at an accelerated pace requires bold new thinking, new innovative approaches and new hyper-collaboration. The Innovation Collaboration Gatherings aim to do just that: putting the most influential companies with the most innovative of sustainability startups, scale-ups and funders, to collaborate, lead and change how our businesses and society operates in a bold new sustainable future. All in a unique, convivial, intimate setting.
Scaling Sustainable Solutions:
How can we bridge the gap between promising sustainability technologies and widespread adoption in the corporate world?
Financing Sustainability Innovation:
What are the most effective models for supporting early-stage sustainability innovators and ensuring their long-term success?
Collaboration for Impact:
How can we foster a culture of collaboration between corporations and innovative startups and scale-ups to co-create solutions that continue to deliver tangible solutions?
Measuring Impact:
How can we better measure the impact of collaborative sustainability initiatives to drive continuous engagement, collaboration and solution-finding?
