Investment in Sustainability - can it drive profit?

Festa, The Circularity Cluster and the Icelandic Ocean Cluster invite you to a joint event on may 14th, 09:00AM-11:00AM.

Note - this event is open and free for everyone.

The event is intended for entrepreneurs, investors, and other interested parties who wish to dive deeper into the discussion on sustainability-related investments. Our goal is to examine whether and how investors weigh and consider sustainability in their decision-making and whether their focus is more on financial gain rather than on sustainability ♻️

With a particular emphasis on the Icelandic context and the Blue Economy, the event will seek answers to whether it is possible to increase investors' interest in sustainable investments.
