The Ripple focused on how to make buildings greener and smarter, bringing together investors, founders, and industry experts for a fresh discussion on what needs to change in the built environment.

Everyone swapped ideas on market challenges and the road ahead.

Here’s what came out of it:

- Making buildings part of the power grid is a hot topic, but scaling it up isn’t easy.

- Europe’s renovation rate is too low, so boosting it is key.

- Smart solutions are everywhere, from better insulation to heat pumps and clever financing.

- There’s big potential when private and public forces team up.

- It’s not just tech – rules, incentives, and simple user experience matter.

In the end, the group agreed real progress will take teamwork, new rules, and down-to-earth solutions that help both people and the planet.
