At WETEX & Dubai Solar Show, I shared with a captive audience how to build sustainable products, using a case study we did a few years back on sustainable finance.

The key takeaways:

  1. The market is expecting green innovation, especially in finance
  2. Green finance is a key component of a full green value chain (or circular chain)
  3. Green is not so simple, as some sustainability goals can be conflicting

Thanks Sheryn for the warm introduction, and thanks to Hanane Dammane, Suvendra Kumar Senapati and Biju P K for the interesting discussion on the challenges of such a topic.
