Rushlight Show 2021

The 12th Rushlight Show, kindly headline sponsored by Innovate UK, is taking place on 10–11 March 2021 as a virtual event with all the interactions of a physical event. It is the leading event for cleantech companies and sustainable solutions to meet investors and financiers, corporate customers, government departments, advisers and intermediaries.

Delegates will be able to have arranged meetings, live chat and on demand video chat throughout the event. This includes impromptu one-to-one video chats similar to private meetings at an event. This really does mirror a physical event and is a true step-change from most of the virtual event styles that prevailed for much of last year.

The event highlights are:

  • The Innovation Showcase of the Cleantech Conference, with 40 companies presenting their latest cleantech and sustainability innovations, all available on demand throughout the event.
  • The Sustainable Solutions Market Panel, where organisations present their market-ready products and services directly to a panel and audience of leading sustainability and procurement representatives from UK organisations who are seeking to further their supply chain sustainability and resilience.
  • The Exhibition, incorporating the Innovate UK and other Showcases, together with the poster exhibition, amounting to more than 100 of the latest innovations in cleantech and sustainability.
  • UK Energy session, which will set out the pathway to net-zero 2050, with a particular focus on hydrogen, CCUS and bioenergy. This is a must attend event for anyone with an interest in UK power generation, the energy market, transport systems and fuels.
  • The Natural Capital & Resourceful session, in association with the Circular Economy Club, with a keynote covering the state of our natural capital, with particular reference to biodiversity, air, sea and freshwater environments, woodland and soil.  The session will also provide a state of the nation address and discussion on the circular economy, its role in the net-zero future, some of the successes so far and the key issues to be resolved.
  • Private Investor Lounge for live investor pitches.
  • Networking as you would do in a physical event with open and private bubbles, one-to-one, exhibitor interaction and business card introduction, all on video chat, as well as live chat and scheduled meetings.  

The total audience for the whole event is expected to exceed 500 and will include cleantech senior management, investors, advisers, corporate customers, sustainability professionals, key officials from government departments and local authorities, media, consultants specialising in the various sectors and other sector participants.
