Building on UKGBC’s Innovative Start-Up Forum, we’re inviting innovators along with solution adopters and topic experts to reconvene to discuss targeted issues in scaling sustainable solutions. On 2^nd December at 11am we’ll dig into the topic of how we can finance innovation and help solutions scale. 

In this session focussed on finance, we will be discussing different approaches to financing innovation, whether that be public, private or blended finance. We’ll discuss a range of topics, for example how to build investor confidence, different funding mechanisms and business models to accelerate adoption, and how long-term value and sustainability co-benefits can be factored into decision making.   

We will also be holding the following future Innovation Forums on:  

• Organisational strategy to encourage innovation – 2pm on 18^th November   

• Risk, insurance and responsibility – 20th January

How the Forum will work

This session will last for 1.5 hours and involve interactive discussions designed to spark collaboration and drive action. As this is a Forum we encourage everyone that attends to actively participate and contribute to the conversation.  

These sessions are designed to go beyond talk – they’re about finding tangible enablers and steps to take to overcome barriers to scaling innovation which we will then take forward as part of the Scaling Initiative.

UKGBC has long called for a comprehensive ten-year retrofit strategy to end stop-start policy, build industry confidence, scale supply chains, and coordinate local action nationally. We have been working actively to influence the plan and when it arrives this autumn, we want to hear from you.   

The UK Government’s long-awaited Warm Homes and Buildings Plan is set to be a major milestone for the decarbonisation and future-proofing of the UK’s building stock. But will it deliver the long-term vision, investment, and certainty the sector needs? Will it go far enough on net zero, affordability, and resilience, or will it leave critical gaps?  

In anticipation of the Government’s upcoming Warm Homes Plan, Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ hosting an interactive member town hall that will bring members together to unpack the government’s new plan, share insights, and shape our continued collective advocacy. We want to hear from you and explore what’s promising, what’s missing, and what needs improving to ensure the new national retrofit strategy truly delivers for people, industry, and the planet. 

Who should attend?

This session is for all UKGBC members with an interest in retrofit, home energy efficiency, and policy engagement – from manufacturers, local authorities, and housing providers, to supply chain, finance, and professional services.  

Speaker and guests

• Jessica Skilbeck, Director, Net Zero Buildings at the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero.
• Rachael Owens, Co-Director, National Retrofit Hub.
• David Adams, Senior Net Zero Consultant, Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥.
