TECNALIA took part in the COP29 forum to address the challenges facing SMEs in climate action.
The COP29 forum, held in Baju, Azerbaijan and organised by the University of Cambridge, addressed the challenges faced by SMEs in climate action. Trends in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, and the most relevant industrial and political solutions for decarbonisation were also presented.
José Luis Elejalde, Energy, Climate and Urban Transition Director at TECNALIA, joined the round table made up of experts such as Carmen Navarro Gómez from Spanish Green Growth Group, Philippine Ménager from ECODES and Gonzalo Sáenz de Miera from IBERDROLA.
One of the keys to the transition was the importance of the role of leading companies in their value chain for the generation of innovation ecosystems. For this reason, companies, technology centres and administrations play an important role in boosting and regulating.
