This month we brought together a select group of clients, peers, and partners for An Unreasonable Evening: The Future of Residential and Commercial Real Estate, an intimate dinner and discussion focused on how innovation and capital can accelerate a more sustainable environment. Alongside insights from Barclays colleagues, a highlight of the evening was hearing directly from two outstanding founders from the Unreasonable Impact programme. In our fireside chat, Dr Elizabeth Gilligan, Co-Founder & CEO of Material Evolution explored how to future-proof real estate portfolios while delivering meaningful sustainability outcomes, and Agnes Czako, Founder & CEO of AirEx Technologies, spoke powerfully about improving energy efficiency in homes and tackling fuel poverty while making buildings warmer, healthier, and less carbon-intensive.
