The one-day special event aims to bring some of the sustainable finance thought leadership and practitioners to Bratislava, enabling local actors to discuss challenges they face, hear about the latest best practices, share ideas and know how, and strengthen the network of individuals working on sustainability in practice or those who have a budding interest in it. The focus of the first event in this series will be the road to Net Zero, how to transition the economy and business to a net zero model by 2050.
