As an illustration of the manifesto, BE100 will give 1000 planet positive startups the opportunity to pitch to hundreds of investors, with access to £10 billion investment capital to fast forward their solutions.

In the words of Deborah Meaden “Climate change is one of the biggest opportunities of our time. We need purpose-led business to drive innovation & invest in long term solutions”

Blue Earth Summit Co-Founder, Will Hayler says “Climate solutions are the opportunity of our time to have a positive impact on the world. Blue Earth takes a human centric approach to finding solutions that improve human existence, whilst reducing our impact on the world. These are the opportunities of our time. We are looking for ideas that disrupt markets and genuinely transform the way the world works”

“If this gets people feeling positive about what’s to come in the future, Blue Earth Summit is the place to be in October.”
