About the event
Join the Sustainable Chemicals insights and learning series, part of the Sustainable Chemicals Innovation Network. This second theme in the series is designed to help innovators in the sustainable chemicals community better understand the private investment landscape and explore new opportunities for growth.

You will learn how to connect with investors, understand the different stages and types of investment available, and hear examples of investors actively supporting innovation in the sector.
