This panel will discuss how demand in the public sector can be a great driver for both innovation and increased markets for impact startups and scaleups.
The public sector can lead the way by requiring and procuring new solutions from startups and scaleups that are clearly assessed and calculated to have a large climate impact. This will also help the startups and scaleups to better take on further markets and opportunities as a next step.
