Background and Hashtags

GreenTech + GovTech = Public sector climate action. This interactive session will highlight companies that have come through the CivTech Alliance Global Scale-Up Programme. This groundbreaking international collaboration programme brings together government and academic innovation from around the world to shine a spotlight on climate tech solutions for global public sector applications. With in-person presentations from investable companies spanning the US, Brazil, the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

Objectives

This event aims for the following:

Lessons learnt in intergovernmental collaboration: understanding how to design and deliver an intergovernmental programme focused on climate action.
How ClimateTech companies are delivering solutions for the public sector and citizens.
Investment opportunities - these technologies present tangible investment opportunities for investors. Against the backdrop of COP27, the exposure will help these companies scale and provide a compelling showcase for the audience.

Talking points

Governments have clarity about their commitments for 2050 and 2030…..but have far less clarity about how to get there. It is clear that innovation is going to be the key…and the solutions needed do not necessarily exist yet (or at least at scale) and the social licence is in many cases untested.

What we do know is that solutions developed in one region will have markets in others, and the role of the public sector procurement will be huge. (the premise behind the GSUP). ie adjacency

So the question then is where do governments want to sit on the spectrum between net consumption (import) and net supply (export) of net zero solutions to the world.

And what capabilities and comparative advantages do they have and how can they leverage them as the world pivots away from fossil fuels and extractive business models towards generative and regeneration.

Where are the net zero solutions going to come from? Incremental innovation from stable older companies and / or innovative ideas and models from new companies such as startups and scaleups - probably both. So how do / should Governments support that dual / multi speed / multi sector innovation capacity at country / region scale?

Is Net Zero enough or should the aim be Net (carbon) Negative? Global challenges require global collaboration i.e. joined up capability and efforts. So where are those coming from after the COPs finish and the execution commences.
