Join us on 16 October in London for the 2024 Tech and Net Zero conference. This conference looks at how the tech sector is approaching net zero and delivering net zero elsewhere.
With a new government putting clean energy and green technologies at the front of the agenda, this conference will look at how policy and regulation can support tech firms in delivering net zero elsewhere, as well as help firms understand what a new government means for their own net zero journey. We also expect to hear from government on the role they see digital technologies in helping the UK get to net zero.
The full day conference is free for techUK members and has panels and breakouts looking at:
UK climate leadership and advice for the new government
The role of digital tech in delivering net zero and growth
Green digital skills
The techUK net zero plan for tech firms
How can policy unlock finance and help scale up new climate tech
The net zero business census
ISSB and UK disclosure rules in the next government
The climate and AI challenges
WWF x techUK: The role of tech in sustainable trade
Supporting the UK’s resilience and adaptation via digital tech
The tech sector approach to carbon markets and offsetting
