In collaboration with Hatch Quarter and Invest Victoria, Santander are hosting this webinar focused on sharing insights on net zero strategy in Australia and how tech-based companies can help to reach decarbonisation goals in the region.

The Australian government has committed to invest 20 billion AUD in low emissions technologies in the next ten years, as well opening up 80 billion AUD through both public and private investment in green technologies.

The region is focused on a technology-driven approach as it recognises that with new and emerging technologies it has the potential to further reduce emissions by 15% by 2050.

In collaboration with Hatch Quarter and Invest Victoria, Santander are hosting this virtual session focused on understanding Australia’s net zero strategy, challenges, and how tech-based companies can collaborate with Australia-based corporates and government organisations to tackle climate challenges and reach the country’s net zero by 2050 goals.

They will be sharing their experience with helping clients expand and develop commercial relationships to bring their solution to the Australian market.
