Undaunted: Tackling climate change with innovation reposted this
I had such a fun time last week representing Imperial College London at the #LondonDemoDay - Feeling pretty gassed that I can now check off delivering my first public pitch! ✅ I was quite nervous to be on such a big stage going into this event, but the Imperial Enterprise Lab team were an absolute dream in helping me workshop my pitch. My inner critic has a lot of notes on my presentation, but overall I'm really satisfied with the outcome - It has sparked many excellent conversations and new connections, perspectives, and ideas for advancing our mission to make net-zero agroecological farming profitable and accessible. Biofonic is early in our journey, but we've accomplished a lot in very little time, so it was immensely rewarding to have the chance to share our vision for the future of farming, highlight the extreme challenges farmers face today in a world of climate volatility, receive valuable feedback, and bask in the excitement and energy we received from investors and the broader public.

Five startups from Imperial College London’s innovation ecosystem showcased their ideas alongside peers from London’s leading universities at London Demo Day - including Biofonic (currently on The Greenhouse) and Carbon Cell (Greenhouse alumni!) ⤵️ 👉 https://lnkd.in/ePJWmyXs
Last week, Biofonic had the honor of representing Imperial College London as a selected finalist to pitch at #LondonDemoDay, hosted by The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). It was a fantastic opportunity to share our unique technology and vision for profitable and accessible net-zero farming, and we are grateful for all of the exciting new connections and perspectives it has opened for us. We're still basking in the energy and inspiration we gained from such an innovative showcase!

Built different 🏘️ 🏡 🏗️ 🏢 Greenhouse gas emissions from the built environment constitute 20% of the total emissions we produce in the UK annually. We need to reduce the environmental impact of our buildings - it's a huge challenge, which has led to a flourishing, highly innovative built environment startup sector developing cutting-edge solutions across the supply chain. So, what's the plan to harness this innovation and decarbonise this sector? Check out Startup Coalition's latest report 👉 https://lnkd.in/etC4zD5N "This sector is a national asset... If these startups are let loose on the challenge of decarbonising the built environment, we will not just accelerate climate action in the sector, but scale solutions that can then be exported across the globe to decarbonise the built environment everywhere. To unlock this opportunity we must set the sector up for success with policies that work." Featuring brilliant startups at the forefront of this sector including some supported by Undaunted's accelerators!

Big firms, regulators and red tape are holding back the decarbonisation of buildings and homes in the UK, and the growth of the UK’s £900m built environment startup sector. Today, Startup Coalition sets out a plan to fix this - a plan to make the UK Built Different. 💰 Evidence shows that insulating homes properly could save the UK economy £136bn over thirty years including £13bn to the NHS alone, but successive governments have failed to produce a credible plan to decarbonise buildings and homes. ⚙ UK Startups are building cutting edge tech to reduce bills, fix our leaky homes, and reduce the impact of buildings on our planet. They’re needed more than ever as Labour plans to put more spades in the ground, and energy bills continue to bite. 🌹 We're pleased to launch this just days after our panel at Labour Party Conference in partnership with Checkatrade where we dived into accelerating decarbonisation in the built environment, through tech, innovation, and combatting the skills challenge to power this transition. 💡Our blueprint has 10 steps, from building markets for low carbon materials, to developing a sandbox for retrofit tech which is currently drowning in red tape. It’s also time to empower homeowners to access their data from Smart Meters. 🌍 These changes will save cash and carbon. By following our steps, Labour can shore up the foundations for homes and buildings that work for people and the planet - powered by cutting edge, UK-made tech.

This is such a great milestone for Treeconomy. Harry is in New York for Climate Week this week ans clearly crushing his traction. Imperial Enterprise Lab, Imperial College London, Undaunted: Tackling climate change with innovation
🌿 Treeconomy is excited to announce a first-of-its-kind partnership with CUR8 and British Airways, marking a major leap forward in nature-based carbon removal! ✈️🌍 British Airways has pioneered a new approach by purchasing stacked carbon credits, combining 3,000 Woodland Carbon Code (WCC) Pending Issuance Units (PIUs) from the Montgreenan afforestation project in Scotland (with a 100-year duration) and 3,000 Sequoia Carbon Pending Units from our partner project in Abergavenny. This innovative method extends the long-term durability of carbon removal, pairing conventional nature-based solutions with the extraordinary carbon-capturing potential of Giant Sequoia trees. This collaboration sets a new benchmark in ensuring transparency, durability, and permanence for nature-based carbon removal projects, showcasing British Airways’ leadership in sustainable aviation.

🌊♻️Cleaning up! Imperial College London startup Puraffinity has raised a further £6.73m in #SeriesA funding to take its treatment for #PFAS forever chemicals in water to the market: https://hubs.ly/Q02RbD290 “The dynamic and pioneering spirit at Puraffinity is inspiring,” said Vincent Caillaud, a water industry veteran newly appointed as Puraffinity’s chief executive. “I can’t wait to see what we’ll achieve together in tackling one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time.” The company, which has now raised a total of just under £17m in this funding round, has grown massively since first forming in 2015, participating in Imperial Enterprise Lab's Venture Catalyst Challenge and #WEInnovate competitions, before being one of the first members of Imperial White City Incubator, later graduating to take up labs elsewhere in the White City Innovation District.
