The built environment ranks among the world's worst climate offenders, with the construction and real estate sector accounting for 35% of global emissions.
At Impact Loop's investor meetup in Stockholm on Thursday, the theme was water tech, property, energy and "contech" (construction tech). We brought together a panel of investors from three of Sweden's VCs investing in this space: Anna Ljungdahl at major VC Industrifonden, Johan Wiksell at the venture arm of construction and residential development company JM, and Johan Frenckner, partner and CEO at the VC firm Longrun Capital, to discuss where they see the greatest potential for transformation.
