For the latest techUK podcast we have spoken to some of our most innovative members following COP26. We open with an interview with Elena Avesani from Oracle on their approach to net zero. We follow this with a discussion with Helen Grundy from Hitachi who talks through how digitising infrastructure can help deliver decarbonisation.

In the third section we talk to Veera Johnson and Will Wells, two clean tech start up founders to talk through the investment appetite for climate tech and how positioning a firm as clean tech can help drive interest.

Lastly we speak to Matt Houlihan from Cisco, on his reflections as a COP26 partner and the challenges of setting robust climate targets in a multinational business.
