Europe’s largest climate tech ecosystem empowers entrepreneurs and helps scale climate-positive businesses

A leading provider for the transition to a zero-carbon world

By combining investment, workspaces, and hands-on support under one roof, Sustainable Ventures has created Europe’s largest climate tech ecosystem.

It empowers entrepreneurs tackling the climate crisis by nurturing a collaborative community, helping to accelerate innovation in clean energy, sustainable transport, and the circular economy.

"We’re proud to embed Bioregional’s One Planet Living framework at the very heart of our community operations. Using this action plan as a roadmap, we will be empowered to tailor our offering to address the environmental and social impact issues that affect our members."

Wayne Shaw

Director of Workspaces, Sustainable Ventures

"We are so impressed with what Sustainable Ventures is doing that we moved the Bioregional head office to their London workspace in 2022. Their pioneering blend of investment, workspace, and hands-on support creates an ecosystem where innovation thrives, and sustainability is practised every day."

Sue Riddlestone OBE

CEO and co-founder, Bioregional

Across its own operations, Sustainable Ventures “walks the talk”.

The goals and targets in its One Planet Living action plan are ambitious and aligned with the framework.

Carbon footprint reduction targets will align with science-based targets for its sector and will exceed SBTi requirements for SMEs.
