00:00:00.210 --> 00:00:01.797
<v ->Hi, my name is Mads Peter Langhorn.</v>

2
00:00:01.797 --> 00:00:04.110
I'm a managing director and partner in Copenhagen,

3
00:00:04.110 --> 00:00:06.210
and I lead our green growth accelerator topic

4
00:00:06.210 --> 00:00:07.530
there globally for BCG.

5
00:00:07.530 --> 00:00:09.600
<v ->Hi, I'm Siddharth Jain, I'm a managing director</v>

6
00:00:09.600 --> 00:00:10.860
and partner based out of Delhi,

7
00:00:10.860 --> 00:00:11.970
and I work with Mads

8
00:00:11.970 --> 00:00:14.280
on our green growth accelerator offering for Asia Pacific.

9
00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:15.690
So Mads, we often hear the question

10
00:00:15.690 --> 00:00:17.730
that the green energy transition is slowing down.

11
00:00:17.730 --> 00:00:19.200
What's the thought from Europe?

12
00:00:19.200 --> 00:00:20.580
<v ->The pace has certainly shifted,</v>

13
00:00:20.580 --> 00:00:24.510
but the fundamentals remain very strong, intact.

14
00:00:24.510 --> 00:00:27.480
The funding need for the net zero transition

15
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:30.840
over the next years is more than $7 trillion annually

16
00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:32.100
in CapEx.

17
00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:34.500
We see an an ever growing group

18
00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:37.650
of climate focused unicorns now with a combined valuation

19
00:00:37.650 --> 00:00:39.930
of more than $200 billion.

20
00:00:39.930 --> 00:00:42.270
The story here is not only about risk management

21
00:00:42.270 --> 00:00:43.560
and the downside protection,

22
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:46.830
I think we see an increased impetus for growth

23
00:00:46.830 --> 00:00:50.040
and for value creation driven by green businesses.

24
00:00:50.040 --> 00:00:52.710
<v ->And I think the story from Asia is very similar.</v>

25
00:00:52.710 --> 00:00:54.210
There's a very strong appetite

26
00:00:54.210 --> 00:00:55.710
to invest in green businesses.

27
00:00:55.710 --> 00:00:58.380
There's a lot of capital which is flowing towards these,

28
00:00:58.380 --> 00:00:59.550
a lot of bold moves,

29
00:00:59.550 --> 00:01:02.610
new technical innovations that are happening.

30
00:01:02.610 --> 00:01:05.640
So the questions leaders really are asking is not if,

31
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:07.500
but how fast can we really go?

32
00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:08.400
<v ->Exactly.</v>

33
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:09.233
And I think that's also

34
00:01:09.233 --> 00:01:11.190
where a green growth accelerator comes in,

35
00:01:11.190 --> 00:01:14.040
where we work with corporates, with investors,

36
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:17.550
with scale ups to build climate positive businesses

37
00:01:17.550 --> 00:01:18.990
that have tremendous impact.

38
00:01:18.990 --> 00:01:20.970
So we believe that companies

39
00:01:20.970 --> 00:01:22.800
that act now on the green agenda,

40
00:01:22.800 --> 00:01:24.420
they will have a tremendous opportunity

41
00:01:24.420 --> 00:01:27.450
to build out market leadership, competitive advantage,

42
00:01:27.450 --> 00:01:29.250
and ultimately long-term resilience.
