We are in the middle of a sustainability revolution, and everybody from hi-tech to car tyre companies are scrambling to realign product, brand and employee image around sustainable principals. Technology, sensor systems and IoT have incredible roles to play in creating the kinds of transparency and immediate feedback that will attract customers, investors and the best employees. But technology alone is never enough, and for lasting change we need to talk about trust and culture.

Panel: Water, Air and Earth
Thursday 23.11
Main Stage
12:30-13:00
Water, air and earth have sustained life on this planet for billions of years. Our reliance on finite natural resources is evident with the growing food and material shortages which are putting strains on entire regions and markets. However, when systems start to disintegrate, we are presented with a unique opportunity for new thinking, new creation and new growth. Let’s seize this incredible opportunity to rethink our relationship with reources. Let’s protect what we have: reuse and restore our water, air and earth. Let’s turn our supply chains circular and create global systems that are robust, flexible and give back more than they take away.

Can biotech solve the global materials and food crisis?
Thursday 23.11
Main Stage
14:30-15:00
With the growing energy crisis, Ukraine war, and tensions rising across the Asia Pacific, consumers, producers and governments alike are bracing themselves for the next wave of food or material shortages. However, are we missing an opportunity to completely rethink our supply and production systems and turn to approaches that are waste-free, technology-driven and locally produced? As prices rise and production costs drop the South East Asian biotech market has an incredible opportunity to act as a trailblazers in supplying local and sustainable foods and materials.

Who do we blame: are consumers, government or airlines holding back sustainable air transport?
Thursday 23.11
Main Stage
15:00-15:30
Flying continues to sit in the ‘too hard basket’ when it comes to large-scale decarbonisation. While investments in Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) continue to grow, the mainstay of sustainability efforts is offsetting, an area where consumer trust and efficacy remains questionable. In light of these stalling developments, who’s holding back development and how can we overcome slow progress in sustainable aviation?
