At this high-level summit, leading members of the European Parliament lead an all-star panel of think tanks, eco-innovators and global governors for a wide-ranging discussion on the frameworks we need – and the decisive steps the private sector is taking to get us over the line and deliver a net-zero economy.
Thank you to the European Parliament, Lisbon Council, and Amazon Web Services for extending the invitation to our members for this exclusive event.
As Europe develops plans to reach its flagship Green Deal and Digital Decade 2030 goals, leading companies and policymakers are weighing in with ambitious programmes, high-level coalitions and advanced technologies to put Europe at the forefront of global efforts to deliver a net-zero emission economy, tackling the climate crisis and ensuring a sustainable transformation of the energy sector.
At this high-level summit, leading members of the European Parliament – including two founders of the AI for Sustainability Group – lead an all-star panel of think tanks, eco-innovators and global governors for a wide-ranging discussion on the frameworks we need – and the decisive steps the private sector is taking to get us over the line and deliver a net-zero economy. The discussion will focus on recent eco-innovation from leading startups, including case-study presentations. And the debate will feed directly into the ongoing discussions on the European Green Deal, the European Union Action Plan on Digitalising the Energy System, the emerging European industrial strategy and the Artificial Intelligence Act.
