With the recent news on hydrogen and sustainability projects in NZ and Australia, it's easy to feel slightly disheartened about the outlook for sustainability and energy transition projects. But what if we viewed these setbacks as indicators of progress and signaling opportunities for investment and future growth?

We are thrilled Bspkl's had the opportunity to participate in the New Zealand delegation for the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) Clean Economy Agreement Forum alongside Mint Innovation, FABRUM., OpenStar Technologies, Miruku. This important event brings together industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators to discuss and shape the future of sustainable economic growth in the Indo-Pacific region. We are also deeply honored to be selected as one of the Indo-Pacific Climate Tech 100! This recognition highlights our commitment to driving clean technology solutions and fostering sustainable practices. Key learnings from the forum have been incredibly insightful: 🚀 Amazing Technology Development: The Indo-Pacific region is a hub of amazing technological advancements. Innovative solutions are being developed that can significantly contribute to the global clean economy. 🌏 Global Opportunities at Our Back Door: The proximity of these innovations presents us with global opportunities right at our back door. We are excited to tap into these opportunities to drive change on a worldwide scale. 🌐 Connectivity in the Indo-Pacific Region: It's evident that enhancing connectivity is a key focus for the governments of our region. This connectivity is crucial for driving economic growth, fostering innovation, and facilitating collaboration on climate initiatives. 🤝 Opportunities for Collaboration: There are immense opportunities for us to work together across borders to achieve significant GHG reductions. By leveraging each other's strengths and resources, we can make substantial progress towards a sustainable future. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Hon. Simon Watts, Hon. Todd McClay, Ministry of Trade and Industry (Singapore), New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Trade, and HolonIQ for their incredible support and for making this participation possible.
