There is a real need for businesses to recognise both the risks and opportunities of the transition to a net zero economy, an agenda strongly backed by Ireland and the EU remain. Companies that fail to address transition risks may face business model challenges and limited access to finance. Financial support is essential, whether adapting operation or investing in Cleantech solutions.
In this session we will explore what companies need to think about to be transition ready: what companies need to consider, what financial supports are available to them, and how to position themselves for success. The event is aimed at those charged with keeping their companies financially healthy, and those charged with supporting companies with the finance and support they need.
