Info

The Sustainability Connector is an initiative designed to unite various stakeholders who are passionate about sustainability. It focuses on connecting those who provide sustainable solutions and services with individuals interested in adopting practical measures for sustainability in their personal and professional lives.

Attendees can expect to encounter a diverse group of participants:

Providers of Sustainability Solutions: These are individuals or organizations that offer innovative products or services aimed at enhancing sustainability. Their areas of expertise may include renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, eco-friendly technology, and waste management.

Enthusiasts of Sustainability: This group consists of individuals interested in exploring sustainable practices. They may include environmental activists, students in environmental science, and those committed to lowering their carbon emissions.

Zero CO2 Emissions Advocates: Participants in this category are dedicated to achieving net-zero carbon emissions. This includes industry representatives working towards reducing their impact on the environment, policymakers advocating for carbon-neutral initiatives, and researchers focused on carbon capture technologies.

Corporate Sustainability Managers: These professionals develop and implement sustainability strategies within companies. They seek to network with solution providers to explore partnerships and share best practices for minimizing environmental impacts.

Investors in Sustainable Ventures: Including venture capitalists and impact investors, this group is keen on discovering new investment opportunities in sustainability-focused startups. Their interest lies in meeting innovative entrepreneurs and understanding emerging trends within the sector.

Academic Researchers: Researchers typically participate to present their findings, engage in discussions across disciplines, and collaborate with others to translate academic insights into actionable solutions.

Nonprofit Organizations: Representatives from nonprofits committed to environmental conservation and sustainable development are also present.

The event format encourages free networking, allowing attendees to mix and mingle. To enhance connections, everyone will be invited to join a dedicated WhatsApp group prior to the event for introductions and discussions.

Typically, attendance ranges from 50 to over 100 individuals, with past gatherings at HomeGrown Club attracting roughly 100 participants. Feedback highlights the diversity of attendees, including solopreneurs, business owners, investors, and corporate professionals. Newcomers usually represent about 10-20% of participants, and the WhatsApp group facilitates introductions beforehand. A dedicated team is present to ensure that all guests feel welcomed and engaged.

This initiative values human-to-human interactions, emphasizing the genuine desire to connect and understand one another. Making business connections is a welcome outcome, but the primary goal is fostering personal relationships.
