Future-Proof Supply: Bio-Inspired Materials & Circular Systems

​Where capital, technology, and nature collaborate to solve urgent challenges.

​Vital Systems is a curated event series bringing together founders, investors, corporates, and government leaders to scale climate and deep tech solutions that work with nature to address challenges in essential industries for the future.

​Our second gathering, Future-Proof Supply: Bio-Inspired Materials & Circular Systems, will explore how regenerative systems can transform global supply chains — and how to fund, pilot, and scale these innovations.

​Through panel discussions, founder showcases, and cross-sector networking, you’ll connect with leaders who are building the partnerships and funding pathways that turn big ideas into measurable impact.

​We’ll explore:

• ​What regenerative systems look like in practice

• ​How to bridge funding gaps for deep tech with long development cycles

• ​Where corporates and government can partner to accelerate adoption
