  • ENGIE FACTORY’ SESSION : on day 1 - November 8

Why we don’t need more science to solve climate change – how business models are key enablers in sustainability. What prevents individuals and corporates adopting more sustainable practice? It’s the sustainability premium – the additional cost incurred for choosing a sustainable option over a non-sustainable option.

 Traditionally, focus has been on reducing the cost of the sustainable option, which in turn delays widespread adoption (for example EVs). This panel lead by ENGIE Factory will explore how innovation in business models, not technology, is able to bring sustainable options to the top of the list now.

Opening speaker and  Moderator: Edwin Cheang, VP Strategic Partnerships, ENGIE Factory Asia-Pacific. 

As VP Strategic Partnerships for ENGIE Factory, Edwin leads the Venture Scale programme which partners with startups to test new solutions.
