CLIMATE TECHNOLOGIES:

The Core Engine of the new Economic Model.

For Sustainable & Healthier GDP.

 

"CLIMATE TECH AWARDS" 2^nd Edition I for the COP27, the time has come to start delivering on the ground.

The NetZero Targets by 2050-2060, confirmed by commitments at COP26 and by the Glasgow Pact momentum, push all countries on this mid-century race: switching their entire economies into a low-carbon one. Now, all industries need to drive innovations in that sense. As scientists advocated towards the IPCC reports, these Climate Technologies are playing a critical role.

To make it happen, we need Disruptive/DeepTechs, far-beyond the main incremental ones we have. That means investing massively, from science to applications within this decade, to find the new mainstream (climate friendly) solutions, business models and schemes.

• For Corporates and Entrepreneurs, it is all about staying or becoming the next Leaders in your fields. 
• For Investors, it is all about funding Today your stream-revenue for Tomorrow, that align portfolios' performance. 
• For Public Policies Makers, it is all about how co-designing our acceptable and inclusive reforms to support these geopolitical targets, by maintaining the global warming at 1.5-2°C for a livable Planet.

"CLIMATE TECH AWARDS I pushing the frontiers of usual showcase and speakers line-up.

Here, we want to bring one of the essential places to practice Paris Agreement. As climate change is global for the future generations, this ecosystem is a mission driven platform to raise and accelerate funding and talents, spreading concrete applications for mitigation, adaptation within all ClimateTech Hubs (cf bellow, solving in time the "climate equation" is solving today the "investment equation", ClimateFinancePledge.com).

With deep insights of both "THE WHY" and "THE HOW", we will highlight:

• FROM "THE WHY" by inspirational Talks (Keynotes+RoundTables+Exclusive Conversations) what must move. The current investment thesis or preferences are obsolete and should be reengineered. It is all about the speed, scope and scale of operating portfolios re-balance, designing strategic plans for massive industrial decarbonization. In add we will discuss on the tax policy trends & efficiency to switch for healthier models through the new valuable asset classes.
• TO "THE HOW" by Awards Sessions for the best ones within 15 Categories (10 for Startups + 5 for Other Players)  we offer the "climate inclusive, business as usual". VCs, CVCs, PEs & Asset Managers will find investment dealflow to practice divest/invest (main stage + aside SpeedDemo for Funding). It is all about, responding to an era of new challenges, by creating opportunities that integrate natively climate issues: matchmaking Investors x ClimateTechs, offering low-carbon & jobs possibility for talents.

"CLIMATE TECH AWARDS" I if Tech is Key, Finance is Fundamental.

For 2050-2060, all investors must realize that "NetZero effort" needs Funding from 2022 and massively before 2030. That requires a complete reboot in the expectation habits: from the "short" to the "patient" but stronger "Return of Investment". Distributing carbon neutrality is about integrating at the "Top Business Criteria" the ClimateTechs & Qualified Data as the core-accelerator, for real Integrated Reports. For Corporates it is all about how switching their Business Unit Activities by transversal tools an strategies, such as "Internal Carbon Pricing by design". That is becoming among the new leaders, anticipating the strong and future advantages offered by carbon markets, tax incentives and the next generation of regulations & norms.

 

Come to raise the New Economic Engine of the XXI Century.

More broadly for investors, to consider deeper the SDGs, it deals with: how applying the "real and right value on the right asset classes". By highlighting the "what, why and how" of ClimateTechs, we support the pro-active players. Through Financial Places, the ClimateTech Hubs are already considered as the full-fillers of all the Sustainable Indexes (they are the emerging & mainstream ones, until the future ESG Norms in progress, and until the global swap towards Full-Sustainable Stock Exchanges). In add, the participation of major and smaller Public & Private Organizations is a must invitation for: States, Cities, Regulators, Capital Markets, Operators, Industries, Academics and NGOs.

Today, if the Global Engagements are a "start", translating in Global Investments is a "must". Both are the common need and interest. Because achieving the Paris Agreement is our Common Horizon.
