  • "Innovation Zero can really allow people to understand that the solutions are out there. The commercial solutions and financing solutions that are associated and need to be built alongside those. So if there’s one thing that people should take away, it’s that the transition is going to happen, and both the financial and corporate world will be able to deliver it."

    Director of Sustainable Finance, LSEG
  • "Events like Innovation Zero are an opportunity for us to really get out and understand what people working on, how we’re seeing the responses to the climate emergency push forward. There’s a lot of ambition, it’s really useful to get together with people and compare notes."
