Hear about the future of sustainability during a powerful fireside chat with Nathalie Grolimud of the Rethink Hub.
With a global population nearing 10 billion by 2050, food production must increase by 70% while contending with diminishing arable land, increasing temperatures, widespread drought, labor shortages, and higher energy costs. Join Rob as he describes how the digital transformation of agriculture is an all-hands-on-deck imperative to ensure water keeps coming from the faucet and we can keep putting food on the table
AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) can play a significant role in promoting sustainability by enabling more efficient use of resources, reducing waste, and improving environmental performance. Some of the ways in which AIoT can contribute to sustainability are:
As UAVs have become more technologically capable, early adopters are using them to plan, execute, and manage energy infrastructure projects while operating under strict guidance of the FAA. From pre-construction site surveys and design, to construction project management and post-installation inspections, drones are making it easier (and more fun) to build a digital twin of the project life-cycle. This vendor-agnostic discussion will focus on what is needed to have a drone program, how the data is being used before the first shovel hits the ground, and why you should use drones for your energy efficiency M&V and the periodic inspections of renewable assets.
Electric and smart transportation is an absolute opportunity that our generation has. Kasturi speaks about how technology will define how people and things move green and efficiently.
IRENA calls for an Investment Needs of USD 35 trillion by 2030 for Successful Energy Transition to sustain the 1.5°C climate target.

Hélène Papper is the Global Communications and Advocacy Director for the UN specialized agency and international financial institution, IFAD, the International Fund for Agricultural Development.
With an incredible hype around Generative AI, new Language Models and GPT, a new era of capabilities is opening to us. During the session, we will review what Generative AI is and how it can be leveraged. We will discuss potential use cases for sustainability, while also looking at associated challenges such as its own energy footprint and how to ensure it stays “responsible”
Attendees will learn about green hydrogen as an enabler for the energy transition, supporting large-scale energy storage and transportation for renewables. They will explore the basics of green hydrogen, and the state of the art in the green hydrogen space. The conference will also cover the parts of the hydrogen economy and highlight how Siemens Energy is developing and promoting the green H2 economy. With examples of projects such as Haru Oni, attendees will explore challenges and opportunities in the green H2 space and discuss next steps towards a sustainable future.
The session will discuss all the various technologies available to you on site to reduce your carbon footprint as well as some you may not have thought of! There are too many to go into full details but Luke will try and mention as many as possible. Feel free to reach out to him after the presentation to discuss further:
It all starts with Energy Monitoring
As part of our Green Things summit, Helene Thibieroz, of We Grow Green Tech will present in a discussion on the latest trends in Climate and Blue economy aligned with the fast emergence of the carbon economy and risk mitigation. She will also present two technologies aligned with these trends: Eranova, next generation seaweed platform for packaging material , natural carbon capture, and ocean regenerative /circular technology; Rainlons: Air pollution /carbon elimination at the source of exhaust using advanced material and electrochemistry.
In this session we will discuss high level vertical farming, its evolution, challenges and application in urban space. We will discuss how vertical farming, when done properly, is a tool that can be used as a community redevelopment mechanism by making these communities bio productive.
Jon Thomas, Managing Director in the Investment Banking Group at Stout will cover M&A and financings in the cleantech space, who is buying and who is investing, and how cleantech valuations are doing in this volatile market.
