What we’re about
Welcome to the Green Tech South West community
We provide expert insight and thought provoking discussion on how technology can improve our physical environment and battle the massive, urgent issue of climate change.
We are a community/people focused group with an open and inclusive ethos.
We run regular meet-ups, both physical and virtual, from a range of speakers working in or researching green technology methods and their impacts.
Green Tech South West showcases a variety of topics, covering a broad range of considerations such as:
• How digital technology can help preserve our environment and tackle climate change
• The environmental impact of digital technology and how to mitigate it
• Actions we can take as individuals and businesses to harness technologies in a sustainable way
