Cluster reception: Climate protection is the new moon landing
The Green Tech Cluster reception on July 8 at the aiola in the castle was all about green pioneering achievements. The environmental technology sector is pursuing the clear vision of 100: 1 Earth. 0 Carbon. 0 Waste. To protect our earth and our climate for a future worth living.
A pioneering achievement 50 years ago was also very present at the Cluster reception: the manned landing on the moon in 1969. At the beginning of the 20th century, space travel was still unimaginable - and so was the fact that humans would eventually fly to the moon. Despite setbacks, the pioneers did not allow themselves to be deterred. Now we need precisely this pioneering spirit to save the good old Earth.
This power of vision also unites the companies in the Green Tech Cluster. The green innovations represent the many small steps with which we can create the great leap forward together for achieving the climate goals. By means of an interactive survey, the approximately 230 guests revealed their personal "Vision 100" and which product or service innovation the companies will offer by 2025. The topics of digitalization, photovoltaics, hydrogen, blockchain and micro mobility stood out in particular.
CO2 can also taste good
50 years after the moon landing, in terms of the 2030 climate targets, we have around 10 years to prove our social performance in terms of climate protection and the use of renewable energy - only this time it's not about our honor, but about the entire planet. Things also went high with the Science Busters, who demonstrated how we can fly to the moon with our brains but keep the earth. Did you know that CO2 can also taste good? A "champagne ice cream" prepared live on stage proved this impressively.
Children build green future
Climate protection is also particularly important so that we also enable future generations to have a future worth living. Under the motto "Children build the future", the young guests were also invited to build their vision of a sustainable earth. In doing so, they built a bridge to the future, following the example of a 500-year-old pioneer, the most famous polymath of all time: Leonardo da Vinci.
There was plenty of room for inspiring conversations and idea generation at the end of the evening. Over culinary delicacies and cool drinks, the guests exchanged ideas with start-ups, colleagues on new solutions in climate protection. We are already looking forward to the next cluster reception in summer 2020 and are excited to hear about their new green innovations.
