GSUP 2.0 - Safari Week Planner

Scale-up Safari™ - 12th September - 30th October

In 2022 we selected 15 companies from 8 countries with solutions to tackle challenges around natural capital and green growth, and green public procurement. The pre-COP activity circulates around our ‘Scale-Up Safari’ during which each participating country hosts one / two half days introducing the companies to policy makers, procurers and innovators within their region.

The companies have been given a tour through Denmark, Brazil, Australia, Spain, Ireland, Greece, the US, Scotland and Lithuania. These have provided relevant insights into how different countries are tackling the issues within their own cultural, societal and geographical contexts.
