Our annual hybrid conference, based in Cologne and all across Europe, serves as a dynamic meeting point for global industry leaders, policy-makers, and scientists - to connect, learn from one another, and to align existing efforts.
In 2024, the Sustainability Nexus Conference is entering its second edition and hosting the most impactful sustainability stakeholders and innovators in the scene.
