The urgency for climate investment has never been greater. As highlighted by climate scientist / stand-up comic Dr Matt Winning, who compared the event with both insight and wit, key climate metrics continue to show the scale of the challenge ahead. But we can do something about it – and commercial success and climate impact can come together, with the recent acquisition of Blume portfolio company Sensorfact by ABB being just one example here.

Thanks to our fellow climate funds, with whom we are building this important ecosystem. Thanks to the judges who recognised our work last night, thanks to everyone who has supported Blume to this point, and thanks especially to the Blume team for their passion and dedication.
