Blue Earth Summit opens in Woolwich, London this week, running from 14 to 16 October and bringing entrepreneurs, investors, scientists, campaigners and business leaders together.
Join European founders, operators, and investors who read The Checkout every week.
The line-up leans into audience involvement, swapping passive keynotes for live trials, debates, hackathons and sessions where the audience votes on the outcome. Confirmed headliners include economist Kate Raworth, scientist Tim Spector, investor Deborah Meaden, author Sir Ben Okri and ocean advocate Alexandra Cousteau.
For commerce and consumer-brand founders, several threads stand out: a post-growth economics session with Raworth, a debate on whether sustainable products can compete without a price premium, a "Circularity on Trial" verdict session, and discussions on fashion's sustainability claims and whether culture can curb fast fashion.
Food also features heavily, from gut health and preventative nutrition to regenerative farming and the future of protein on UK farms.
