LIVE Innovation pitches

Introducing…a brand new and live innovation pitch opportunity for SMEs!

In a ‘Dragons' Den’ style panel pitching session, up to 12 hand-picked SMEs will have the chance to showcase their idea, product or innovation with industry-leading specialists and decision makers. A strict 5 minute slot time will be enforced to encourage focussed, innovative and laser-sharp pitches that demonstrate quantifiable carbon benefits.

 

Each pitch will be challenged and explored by our experts in front of the conference audience.
