The Second Edition of Connex: Greentech Takes Center Stage
The second edition of Connex, a Greentech-focused event, brought together experts to discuss how innovative technologies can be leveraged to maximize environmental impact, particularly in reducing energy consumption and minimizing waste.
Greentech represents more than just a technological advancement; it's a paradigm shift where businesses must marry technological innovation with environmental consciousness to address contemporary challenges.
A crucial element discussed was the need for a solid research infrastructure to support the development and application of Greentech. Companies in this sector will need to leverage Greentech to succeed, relying on cutting-edge technological advancements to propose effective solutions to environmental problems.
A comparison was drawn with the development and definition of startups, highlighting that understanding and defining Greentech may take time, just as it did for startups. However, despite the challenges, tangible progress is being observed, with an increasing number of companies integrating Greentech solutions into their operations.
Tunisia was presented as an emerging player in this field, capitalizing on its digital and intellectual resources to support Greentech startups. Strategic investments in these companies, with an international vision, pave the way for sustainable economic transformation in the country.
It became clear that Greentech startups face unique challenges, such as longer development cycles and more substantial investment needs. However, with adequate financial support and a clear vision, these challenges can be overcome to create a lasting impact on the economy and the environment.
