Driving Innovation in Housing: Green Finance and Sustainable Homes
This year’s Better Homes 2024 will spotlight innovative thinking in housing. We question if there is a role in finance to drive sustainable housing. What steps to engage the construction industry to collaborate more effectively with innovation? Can the finance sector accelerate innovation beyond business as usual particularly for housing?
International speakers include Gerardo Wadel from Societat Organica and Indy Johar from Dark Matter Labs. There will be two panel discussions, the first on collaboration, moderated by Colm McHugh of Construct Innovate and the second on Sustainable finance as a driver of innovation moderated by Jillian Mahon of Climate Change Advisory Council.
The main conference ends after lunch and in the afternoon there will be a panel discussion on hybrid funding of affordable housing moderated by Jeff Colley, editor of PH+ magazine and a round table discussion on ‘Green, healthy and affordable housing for all’ with invited guests from Ukraine, Portugal and Spain, financial institutions and municipal councils. These sessions are organised by IGBC in partnership with the Smarter for EU project funded by the EU Life programme.
