Introducing Marketplace at Blue Earth Summit 2023

Adding an exchange into the heartbeat of the event where attendees arrange one-to-one meetings, test new products, connect with investors, turn ideas into action and much more.

Around 85% of business executives believe in-person meetings foster stronger and more meaningful relationships. The power of meeting face-to-face extends beyond human connection—it gives you immediate market feedback and validation, increases investment opportunities, and takes your brand awareness to the next level. 

That’s why we’re launching Marketplace at Blue Earth Summit 2023: a unique opportunity for our attendees to arrange one-to-one meetings, test new products, connect with investors, turn ideas into action and much more.

“Marketplace will be the beating heart of Blue Earth Summit, bringing businesses, charities, and investors together to share ideas, test products, and make connections. With a ratio of three investors for every company, and a matchmaking event app to filter like-minded meetings, Marketplace will be a real turning point for so many businesses seeking high impact and growth, and ensure that Blue Earth generates long-term impact with each event.” – Linley Lewis, Managing Director at Blue Earth Summit.

Who can apply to exhibit?

Marketplace is the best place to reach the right audience to grow your business, whether you’re a start-up, scale-up, established company, service provider, brand, NGO, or charity.

Who will be attending?

Investors seeking exciting opportunities to support sustainable ventures, brands committed to driving change and incorporating sustainability into their operations, buyers, sellers, and individuals who are passionate about climate action.

How does it work?

Marketplace will be an open venue in the central zone of the Blue Earth SUmmit. Exhibitors can choose how to promote from 50 exhibition stand-up desks (1m x 1m) and 15 partner booths (2m x 2m). Marketplace exhibitors will have access to our 1:1 meeting area, where you can book a table with other attendees through the event app in advance and during the event. You can also utilise the event app matchmaking system, which will suggest relevant investors to meet with. The odds are in your favour: this year, we aim to have three investors for every company.
