This isn't your typical panel event.

Join us as renowned investor and entrepreneur and Kauffman Fellow Grace Sai puts AMPOL and NSW government and their current climate initiatives under the microscope.

Grace will draw on her experience with the Singapore startup ecosystem - rated the 14th in the world - to dissect how the Australian energy giant AMPOL and the NSW state government can better support climate-tech startups in commercialisation and growth.

Grace will chat with co-founder of early-stage VC Investible and CEO of Greenhouse, Creel Price.

AMPOL and the NSW government will then be given the opportunity to conduct a reverse pitch on how they can better support the climate-tech ecosystem.
