On 2 November 2021, Veena will be delivering a TED-X style keynote address to the 2021 Impact X Summit along with a high level group of international and national speakers and leaders.
The virtual event aims to:
- Position NSW & Australia as a world leader in clean energy, decarbonisation & climate resilience.
- Bring Australian technologies to the global climate stage during UN COP 26.
- Open new markets for Australian decarbonisation & resilience technologies.
- Produce ideas and commitments around technology, investment and collaboration for accelerating pathways to zero emissions.
Speakers include Richard Branson, Mike Cannon-Brookes, Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest, NSW Treasurer and Environment and Energy Minister Matthew Kean.
With the theme, Accelerating pathways to Zero, organisers say technology will be critical to accelerate progress to net zero and the IX Summit will bring Australia’s most promising and exciting innovators to the stage. The Summit will directly address the decarbonisation and resilience opportunity and connect technology founders, energy transition leaders and carbon service providers, with the investors, buyers and partners they need to scale.
