Supply-chain decarbonization will depend on technology—from digital platforms that boost efficiency to electrification of logistics fleets and more. As companies turn their climate commitments into reality, where will we see the biggest impact? How does innovation find its way into daily business operations? Where do the biggest opportunities for innovation and investment emerge?
Nikhil Amin, Independent Consultant, previously General Manager, Amazon Shipping UK
Luca Graf, CEO, MS Direct
Carbon reduction by industry is receiving a lot of attention, but it’s not obviously clear how corporate climate goals will be achieved for “hard-to-abate” industrial sectors. This session will explore the planned pathways, through the combination of process innovation and carbon offsets all necessary to reach net zero. What is planned so far and what innovation is still required for a successful industrial energy transition?
Dr. Debashish Bhattacharjee, VP New Materials Business, Tata Steel
Martin Fleischer, Senior Strategy Development Manager, Primetals Technologies
Bas Sudmeijer, Managing Director and Partner, BCG
With the rise in corporate climate commitments, financial institutions are quickly joining the commitment party and announcing environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment strategies. What does this mean for the venture capital sector? How will this impact the terms LPs will demand from general partners (GPs)? How will GPs comply with these emerging requirements and what will our portfolio companies need to do differently in the future? This session will attempt to crystallize best practice in this space and provide a roadmap for how to incorporate ESG in our industry.
Uli Grabenwarter, Deputy Director, European Investment Fund (EIF)
Patrick Sheehan, Founder & Managing Partner, ETF Partners

The recovery in global aviation is shining a spotlight on an industry traversing a tough, yet promising, path toward decarbonization. How can the sector reduce its climate footprint while still keeping the world connected? What are the most promising trends in sustainable aviation fuel? What other innovations on the horizon can help the industry—long considered one of the trickiest parts of the global net zero puzzle—achieve its ambitions?
Jan Pechstein, Head of Corporate Emissions Management and Sustainable Aviation Fuels, Lufthansa Group
Robert Thomson, Partner, Roland Berger
