Many of the solutions we need to create a more sustainable, resilient built environment already exist, so what’s holding them back?
At UKREIIF 2025, TFT hosts a panel session to examine the factors which are keeping potential innovations from bridging the so-called ‘valley of death’ before the wider market adopts them, and they begin to make their impacts. A group of industry leaders will share their experiences adopting and scaling sustainable solutions for a more sustainable built environment.
Together we call for a closer relationship between Government and industry, to support the valuable work of scaling innovative sustainable solutions into viable commercial propositions, at a time when the UK economy needs growth in sustainable activities and our communities need more valuable, resilient buildings.
