Startup Opportunities in Waste-to-Energy
26 Sep - 05:30 PM
Fortitude Valley, Australia
Waste should be burned to create energy, not buried. Ideas like these ignite the imaginations of Australians dreaming about reducing the impact of our waste, and of creating a circular economy. These ideas can come to life. Waste-to-energy technologies have come a long way in the last decade and public sentiment is Australia is warming to the idea of producing renewable energy from non-recyclable waste. With advancing technology and shifting norms come opportunities for new businesses to be formed.
Join us for a discussion on what startups might emerge in the waste-to-energy sector.
This is the second event in EnergyLab's two-part event series on startup opportunities in BioFutures, leading to a hackathon to generate BioFutures startup ideas. More information and hackathon registration below.
