North East Sustainable Technology (NEST) consortium to deliver an #EraOfOpportunity for the region.

Overview
The aim of the proposed session will be to introduce and further discuss NEST’s core mission, which is based on the following principles:
- To promote the region as the sustainable technology capital of the UK;
- To network and share best practice in the development and application of sustainable technology solutions;
- To help educate and raise standards in sustainability best practice across all businesses in the region; and
- To engage with representative bodies including political leadership in the region to promote better integration between sustainable technology businesses and education.
The Facilitator & Panelists will provide a series of discussion points to highlight the benefit that these principles will bring to Partner Organisations and the broader public; essentially harnessing the power of Technology for Social and Environmental Good.
