The level of honesty and vulnerability of speakers and attendees alike was refreshing and helped to cut through to a deeper level of discourse that I’ve not experienced at an event like this before.”
Tony Elkington – Creative Director at Studio Elk
Over 200 purpose-driven start-ups will bring their ambition and innovation to the heart of the Summit. This dedicated area is not just a showcase of cutting-edge ideas but a meeting ground for founders and investors to connect. With a centralised meeting space and tools to schedule

Innovate UK’s Net Zero Living Programme: Buildings and Retrofit

Buildings and Retrofit
Innovate UK’s Net Zero Living Programme supports 52 local authorities, their partners and communities to overcome non-technological barriers to adopting and scaling up net zero solutions.
This webinar is the first of three sharing insights from the programme, with the aim of helping wider stakeholders to benefit from the learnings, best practice and expertise gained.
Whether you’re a local authority thinking about different ways to approach retrofit, a supplier, innovator or a community wanting to tackle the challenge of upgrading our buildings, this session is for you. We’ll explore some of the solutions successfully implemented by the Net Zero Living participants and discuss how to go about scaling them.
What to expect
We’ll be joined by local authorities and government representatives to discuss their experiences of delivering innovative projects in their areas, and highlighting some case studies that show the role and additional value that local government can bring in using its assets, power and voice to unlock the local retrofit markets of the future.
We will also be launching our report, Delivering Better Buildings, which digs into how to grow a local retrofit market, build skills and quantify the clear wider health, social and economic value of retrofit.
