SICTIC Webinar: The Role of Green FinTech

Ahead of the SICTIC x GFN Investor Day on 17 November, Green Fintech Network and SICTIC are bringing together market and startup perspectives to explore how technology and data can help investors and financial institutions respond to emerging climate- and nature-related risks and opportunities. The discussion will look at market developments and emerging investment themes, including physical climate risk, resilience, adaptation and nature. It will explore where concrete market demand is developing, how innovative solutions can support better decision-making, and which climate- and nature-related opportunities investors may currently be underestimating. Moderated by Sasha Cisar, the session will bring together perspectives from EY, Sustainaccount, Xilva and Resilens – combining a broader market outlook with practical insights and real-world examples from companies developing solutions in this space.
