The Green Start-Up Sustainability Forum & Awards 2023 is a one day conference and award ceremony, taking place on June 29th at Deschis Gastrobar (Bucharest, Romania), created with the purpose to exchange knowledge and good practices, seek inspiration, discuss trends and opportunities and celebrate the sustainability innovators in Romania.

Join us on June 29th 2023, at Deschis Gastrobar, for the first edition of the Green Start-Up Sustainability Forum & Awards.

The forum will gather the relevant actors in both the public domain and the private sector, authorities that have the power to bring the changes needed for Romania to become greener and a country that can implement and have solutions to the proposals from the Green Deal and the FIT 55 European plans, as well as experts from the corporate and startup world that can explain what they are bringing to the table and the example that they are setting.

The forum is a place where we want to share knowledge and good practices, to seek inspiration, a place where we can find out how we can accelerate the progress to make our country more sustainable and, in the meantime, to repair our planet piece by piece by the end of this decade, a place of collaboration, commitment and engagement that drive our ambitious goal: to accelerate and scale groundbreaking solutions to address Romania’s environmental challenges.

Among the topics that Green Start-Up Sustainability Forum & Awards (June 29th, Deschis Gastrobar) will tackle we have:

  • The role innovation plays in sustainability
  • The present and future opportunities - best practices from outside Romania
