At this year’s virtual event, we will explore Europe’s competitive position in the global race for dominance in emerging green tech. Top external practitioners will join our in-house credit experts to discuss how companies and investors are navigating a rapidly evolving policy and market landscape.
Join us live as we answer key questions impacting the EMEA region, including:
- Can Europe establish itself as a credible player in green tech development?
- What role does emerging green tech play in meeting economy-wide net zero goals?
- What are the execution, credibility, and credit risks for companies relying on emerging clean technologies to meet decarbonization objectives?
