More than 30 women ecopreneurs showcased innovative green ideas and projects during an event titled ‘Bridging Gaps to Emerging Solutions’ held in Bengaluru on March 8 at Bangalore Creative Circus. The event, organised by the #GreenHustlers initiative in association with Bharat Climate Startup, provided a platform for concepts that can potentially support India’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
On International Women’s Day, when the theme of Investing in Women: Accelerate Progress takes precedence the world over, such a platform created a conducive environment to women-led businesses and start-ups to have access to opportunities in various ways, said a release.
The panel discussion was centred on exploring the synergies between the public sector, private investors, and climate start-ups. It also provided insights into potential collaborations that could accelerate the development and deployment of innovative climate and funding solutions. It also highlighted successful case studies and offered suggestions about how to navigate the funding landscape.
