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.
