About the session

What’s covered

Which solutions are investors prioritizing that transform materials at the industrial level? How are investors identifying and scaling the right solutions that can drive transformation without even requiring consumers to make a “green” choice? 

The circular economy is moving beyond consumer products and into the industrial infrastructure that quietly determines what materials enter the mainstream economy. From AI-powered sorting to bio-based chemistry replacing petrochemicals in everyday products, a new generation of solutions is making circularity the default, not the alternative. This session explores what innovation investors are backing, how these technologies are reshaping materials at scale, and what it takes to unlock industrial adoption. Hear from international investors on the technologies making this shift real.

The AI x Sustainability in Practice program is open to all. The content goes deep on AI’s applications and impacts, catering to practitioners who want hands-on tools and guidance on real-world tradeoffs.
