Looking Back on Founders Connect Two weeks ago, we came together for Founders Connect, an evening dedicated to climate tech innovation. We’re excited to share a short video highlighting the key moments from the event. See below ⬇️ Organised in collaboration with British Land Canada Water and Climate Connection, this was the first of many gatherings designed to bring together climate tech founders and leaders for meaningful discussions and insights. From the fireside chat with Dr. Tom Heenan, CEO of Gaussion, to the tailored office hours with our partners Withers & Rogers Pala, and Bulb Interiors, Laboratories & Consulting, the event offered practical takeaways and valuable networking opportunities. 💬 Founders gained practical advice, valuable industry insights, and new connections to support them in addressing the challenges of scaling their climate solutions. We’re excited to announce that there are more events on the horizon, each focused on collaboration and innovation within the climate tech ecosystem. 🌱 Thank you to everyone who made the first event such a success. Stay tuned for more updates on what’s next! #ClimateTech #FoundersConnect #Innovation
