How can asset allocators and LPs drive the ESG and decarbonisation agenda? How are new creative financing structures evolving to bridge the funding gap? How can tech advances ensure food security and sustainability in the face of climate-related risks?
Join day two of the Asia PE-VC Summit 2024 in Singapore (Sept 17-18) to gain insights on top Climate Tech and ESG investment trends from nearly 20+ prominent leaders representing venture capital, DFIs and climate sector enterprises.
We present six sessions that will be a part of the Climate Tech and ESG Summit track, which will focus on sustainability-based investing; balancing impact with returns; capital allocation bias, and more.
As you know, the 2024 edition of our flagship Asia PE-VC Summit will have four thematic tracks, each running as a parallel, full-scale event:
- Limited Partners Summit
- Private Equity & Investment Summit
- Venture Capital and Founders Summit
- Climate Tech and ESG Summit
The two-day summit provides ample opportunities for quality engagements and networking with 1300+ delegates who constitute the senior leadership of the investment ecosystem in the region.
The summit offers 10 hours of engaged networking opportunities spread across the two days.
