Join us for an intimate Fireside Chat with the founders of a local eviro-tech start-up.

Matt Spence and Vanessa Vongsouthi will share insights into their journey from PhD to founders of local start-up Samsara Eco, who are delivering climate repair through infinite plastic recycling. This event will be a relaxed, casual conversation with the audience.

After the event, you can head upstairs for a panel discussion titled Starting Up and Spinning Out: Taking Smart Ideas to Market followed by networking over nibbles. (Note that the panel event is separately ticketed)

Canberra-based enviro-tech start-up Samsara Eco is partners with Australian National University, Woolworths Group and Main Sequence and has raised over $54 million to build a commercial facility for plastic recycling. They recently announced a partnership with Lululemon to create infinitely recyclable textiles.
