Allia launches year-long Climate in Focus campaign
Allia has kick-started a Climate in Focus campaign that will span activities within its Future Business Centres and the programmes that its venture support team deliver in 2022, in order to raise the urgency of the climate crisis and support those who have innovative solutions to address it.
Launch of Climate Accelerator inspires with tech solutions to save the planet
