Join us for an inspiring evening on Tuesday 14th May at KPMG Sydney offices on Level 38 as part of Climate Action Week Sydney with leading Sustainability Leaders and Climate Tech innovators. Could startups be the secret weapon to navigating the many challenges facing corporates on the path to Net Zero?

We’ll explore how industries can catalyse innovation in the Australian Climate Tech sector by becoming first customers. With over 600 Climate Tech innovators in the country, these solutions could accelerate our journey to a greener future.

There will be an opportunity to network over drinks and light refreshments to form valuable connections following the sessions.
