A warming world will – and is already having – profound impacts on the things we all depend on: shelter, food, water, energy, medicine. Most nations have committed to drastic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions to turn back the planet's thermostat.
However, true sustainability is not just about emissions. To achieve the SDGs, we must transform the way every industry operates, from agriculture to transportation to healthcare.
The great green transition requires innovation. It requires new, clean technologies and scaling of proven technologies. It takes industry leaders, disruptive innovators and ambitious start-ups to create the blueprints for a sustainable world.
“Sustainable societies require systems, infrastructures and services that facilitate and encourage people to take better care of themselves and their surroundings, both as individuals and as professionals,” he says Andy Lürling, founding partner of LUMOLabs.

In collaboration with TNW, the Future of AI Summit explores the cutting edge of AI innovation and how it can be scaled for success and growth.
The seeds of change are already visible. Climate protection is accelerating faster today than ever before. But we have to keep going. For this reason, we have made Sustainable Societies one of the goals six updated topics from TNW Conference 2025, will take place on June 19th and 20th in Amsterdam.
The topic is for climate fighters. It is aimed at start-ups, investors and innovators who are leaders in the climate, energy, health and agri-food sectors. It is also aimed at everyone from major leaders to young innovators who want to deepen their understanding of the countless ways technology can drive the shift toward sustainability.
“I expect that the true value of new and disruptive technologies such as AI, blockchain and AR/VR lies in their convergence,” he says Lürling, member of the advisory board of the TNW conference. “Together they hold the key to structurally disrupting widespread degenerative habits and systems.”
We understand that sustainability requires a holistic approach across all industries. For this reason, we have divided the topic of “Sustainable Societies” into four pillars.
- Turn the tide: The innovations to address the water crisis
- From farm to table: An insider's look at the future of food
- Hack the human: Building a sustainable healthcare system, from engineered proteins to cell-based therapies
- No waste, no watts: Turning environmental problems into opportunities
