 I am Viola Jardin. I'm Senior Program Manager at University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, CISL. Today this webinar is a chance very much to share with you more about this program joining Loansed and Run by CISO and BSI British Standards Institution. You will also be able to ask questions about the program, the pilot and learn a bit more about these two organizations. So I'm joined by Wendy from BSI and Zoe from CISO. Welcome. Now I think to start, perhaps I can invite Zoe to share a bit more about CISO and Wendy to share a bit more about BSI in case this is the first time you come across with these two organizations. So Yasmin, if you could stop sharing and Zoe, please go ahead. Thanks Viola. Give me one sec. Let me just pull up a slide on CISL to keep me on track. There we go. Hopefully you can all see that. So thank you for the introduction. My name's Zoe Lachlan. I'm a Program Manager within the Canopy team at CISL and really my focus is on our Canopy community for startups and the workspace that we have here in Cambridge. But just to give you a very quick introduction to CISL, first of all, the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership. We have been around for over 30 years now and really we were one of the first organizations out there to look at the role and the impact of business and sustainability. So over the last three decades we've been working extensively across the business and corporate space in the finance sector and also with policy makers as well to really build sustainability leadership understanding and push change towards a sustainable economy. So the four main ways that we do this. Foresight, that first pillar that you can see there. We harness research and develop new ideas. We put out a huge amount of leadership and convene different groups to really push forward new thinking around sustainability. We do a huge amount of work around education, be that through our postgraduate level qualifications in sustainability leadership through to our flagship programs for C-suite and board level executives, as well as a extensive range of online programs as well. We do a lot of work around convening, bringing together different groups of governments, businesses to really kind of try and shape better policy and change, establish new norms to make business more sustainable. And I guess it's fair to say that we saw a sudden sort of change over the last five, ten years. For a long time we were having to do a lot of explaining why people needed to think about sustainability. And then it switched and everyone was coming to us and saying, we know, we know there's a problem. What do we do about it? And that's where this fourth pillar of innovation comes in. And we embed innovation across all of the work we do at CISL, but three years ago we launched Accelerator programs. So over the last three years we've worked with more than 200 startups, helping them to really kind of accelerate their growth and development and embed these new innovative ideas. And last year we also launched the Canopy Workspace, which I will come back to to talk about in a bit more detail later on I believe. It's probably a good place to leave it and I can hand over to Wendy to talk about BSI. Thanks. Thank you very much, Zoe and thank you Viola as well. So I'm also going to do a little change over with slides, so bear with me for one second please. Can I just check that you're seeing the slides and seeing the right view of the slides as well, please? Okay, thank you. See thumbs up, amazing. So as Viola has already said, I work at BSI, the purchase standards institution, and I lead BSI sustainability innovation lab in Cambridge. So I am now going to launch, and I'm afraid a little bit of a monologue, especially for those of you who haven't come across BSI very much, can explain what we do, and in particular what we're doing at the sustainability innovation lab, and why we are collaborating with CISL and Canopy for this particular program. And hopefully through some background, it will give you a better sense of what it is we're looking for and what we are hoping to achieve by hopefully working with you all. So the background on BSI first and foremost, we'd like to think that with everything we do, what we're doing is being a trusted partner for organizations. And through working with us, we are helping those organizations to achieve their goals. That's really our aim, to kind of deliver progress and help people achieve their goals. BSI itself is over 120 years old, and so we have this long history of playing this role as a partner for organizations and their progress. And for those of you who have heard about BSI, you're probably aware of our role as the UK's national standards body. I mean, that's the bit that's right in the name, and we were the first national standards body in the world. You yourself may have actually come across a standard or use it for your own work. You know, we'd like to think of standards as frameworks of best practice, kind of, you know, a view from the experts in the community of what good looks like in a particular area. So some of you may have used that to guide your own work, to kind of change your own processes, or maybe you've been audited against some of those standards. You may also have come across BSI through the kite mark, which you'll see on the bottom left of that slide on the symbols there. That is BSI's own symbol of quality and safety. And when you see that on a project or a service out in the world, what that means is we think of it as an independent marker of trust. And someone's looked at that product, looked at that service and said, you know, actually, this reaches the level that's actually acceptable. And in order to do the work that we do, we really do that by bringing together a community of experts and leaders in different industries. And we see ourselves having this quite unique position, really, between the private sector, between different government bodies, and also between consumers and society. And our aim is to enable knowledge sharing across all of these different people, across industries, across sectors, and even across regions. Because I think, you know, I don't have to convince us, as Zoe's already said, that people on this call that, you know, we're all aiming to be more sustainable. That's such a big challenge for everybody right now. We're also undergoing this digital transformation, continually kind of changing the way we do things. And so we think that collaboration, that knowledge sharing, that drive towards progress is really, really important. And I started by kind of this explanation by laying out some of the high level aims of BSI, because we are very much a purpose-led organization. That idea about aiming to be a partner for progress, and as the slide says, you know, helping to shape a better future, that is really the north star for everything that we do. BSI as an organization is incorporated by a Royal Charter, that again, symbol, you'll see, we're very proud of that, that's on the bottom left again. And the purpose we have as laid out in that Royal Charter really drives the work that we do and the direction that we go in. We are a profit-for-purpose company, and therefore, we don't actually have shareholders. And it means that we can reinvest all of our profits back into the work we're doing, back into enabling the aims and how we can partner with other people around the world. So I talked a lot about our aims of being this trusted partner for progress, our aim to kind of deliver trust between organizations, between government, between consumers. In order to do that, we actually offer a lot of different products and services. So I've talked about standards or the certifications already, we do a lot of different things across all of these different sectors. And rather than laying out a really long laundry list just so you know what we're doing, I think it might be more useful to approach this from explaining how we aim to help our clients and the problems that we really want to solve for them. So we think that by working with us, what we're doing is giving them advice on industry best practices. You know, as I mentioned, these standards, these certifications is really a frame of explaining best practice and what good looks like. So we want to share that with our partners, with our clients, and help them with the processes they need to achieve their goals. Another thing we do is to help provide forward views on regulatory requirements. So this is an idea, I guess, about future looking, not just what's happening today, but you know, particularly random sustainability, I think with the pace at which things are changing, we want to help them to know what's coming up in advance as well to monitor and track all of these different changes so that they can be future proofed and really continue to be moving forward as the world needs to. And then finally, we provide data driven insights for their operational excellence. So this is really thinking about that digital transformation and thinking about how we can use data and digital technologies to deliver what we do today. So things like all that's not maybe once every year, every three years of somebody, you know, definitely having to come and look at everything you're doing. But can we use these tools to provide a more immersive experience, to provide a more automated and continuous experience as well, to be continuously monitoring what is happening there. And as with everything to do with data and digital technologies, to use that foundation and to do the analysis on top of it, to provide people with the insights to help them make the decision to do to optimize what they're doing. And I'd like to think the through the through line for all three of those different aims really is to do with the thing that I keep talking about, which is trust and best practice. By working with BSI, what our clients are saying is that they're demonstrating that they are someone that there are people who really want to make progress towards their goals. They're looking for help when they're actually doing the right things. And they're actually really abiding by that best practice. And by demonstrating that to the world, we think that that builds trust with their own stakeholders and with their own customers. As I mentioned before, we really do want to have this cross sector and cross region view as well. So we work across a range of different sectors with eight priority sectors in particular, built environment, energy, food and retail, government, healthcare, ICT, manufacturing and transport and mobility. And although we are called the British standards institution, we are very much a global company. So we work at, as it says, 180 28,000 sites and 182 countries, we have 84 to 84,000 clients ranging from really kind of global multinational companies, all the way to smaller local businesses. And having this cross sector and cross region view, I think it's particularly important because so many of us impacted by global challenges and global drivers and sustainability, you know, obviously being a huge role among that. And we think by existing in all of these areas and enabling that kind of knowledge sharing and best practice sharing, we can really be playing a huge role in delivering the solutions that's needed. And I quite like this quote from Susan Taylor Martin, our CEO, you know, as the financial environmental and social climates, if our climate continuously shift, BSI's founding purpose to benefit society is more relevant now than ever before. See the idea about, you know, really delivering on our purpose continues to be at the heart of absolutely everything that we do. And sustainability, of course, is high on everybody's agenda. Don't need to convince you of that and the need that we're all kind of working towards the solutions. And so as BSI, we want to play our part in delivering the solutions and delivering the progress. And that requires, of course, expertise, that requires a lot of collaboration. And it also requires a lot of kind of creativity and future thinking. And hopefully, that my little explanation before has gone some way towards convincing you that BSI can be a part of the change that's needed to deliver. And given sustainability is such a big challenge for so many of our clients, I have colleagues across BSI working on delivering products and services in sustainability from all kinds of different angles. And my team at the Sustainability Innovation Lab, of course, we are part of that mission. So our role within BSI, of course, what we want to do, along with all of our colleagues, is to bring that trust and best practice to the challenge of sustainability. And the way that we are doing it is really at that overlap between digital transformation and sustainability. So what we want to deliver at the lab are these digital tools that allow organizations to measure, to model, and to demonstrate their sustainability impacts. And ultimately, we want organizations to use those tools to make more sustainable decisions. So the idea about digital is really core to what we do. And kind of broadly, I would say we have three different principles. It's quite high-minded, maybe three different key ways that we are approaching the work that we do. First of all, is the idea about collaboration. We talked about it before, about bringing people together. But first particularly, I think that idea of co-creation of solutions with the relevant people, whether it's clients or whether it's solution providers like yourself, is a really key thing because we want to get the expertise that everyone has to build a much more holistic, stronger proposition. The other thing we want to do is to accelerate the adoption of these disruptive digital technologies. We want to be partnering with organizations like yourselves, with anybody who thinks they have a solution. And hopefully using the expertise and our networks and our history, we can help to deliver that change to the faster pace that actually is what needs in the world, frankly. And then finally, as a core guiding principle, we're all about experimentation. Delivering trust and best practice are so many different ways of doing it, of course, BSI is already doing it. But we also want to consider how that might look in the future. And that requires experimentation. That requires risk-taking. And that's what my team and particularly within BSI is there to do. We're here as a part of BSI to tap into those networks, but to be a bit of a little sandbox environment really here, that we can kind of play and try new things out and learn from that. And to kind of work with the property with you, but also kind of with our stakeholders to design the kind of transformative solutions that's needed. So hopefully that explanation about BSI and particularly what we're doing here at Sustainable Innovations Innovation Lab has given you a little bit of a background to the program and why we're doing it. Why, first of all, it's called trust in sustainability, because that's such a North Star for us. Why it is, if you've read our website, why we're so focused on digital solutions and why piloting and testing these new solutions is such a large part of the program too. These are all three things that fit in the core of what we're trying to do here at the lab. And also I hope that's given you some background about why we're so excited to work with CISL and the canopy team to deliver this program. Above anything else has given me the opportunity to speak in front of all of you, to get to know you and hopefully to work with you as part of this program, to kind of benefit from some of your fresh perspectives on how we can be tackling these challenges. And of course, more importantly, to be testing and to developing the solutions to this area. And also I think by combining the expertise and networks of CISL and also BSI on all kind of respective areas, we can provide this hopefully a very kind of well-rounded program that covers lots of different aspects, and we can be a partner for your own progress and hopefully can help you to grow your businesses too. So I am going to stop here. That's much too long for me already. And I'll hand you back over to the other. Thank you, Wendy. And I think you lay out really well about, you know, BSI's background and why you are doing this, as well as kind of give people a context of, you know, what you are looking for. And so hopefully that it's kind of a slightly more clear, clear than the website shared. But if you do have some more questions, please do feel free just pop into the chat where you will try to answer as many as possible. And so for the time being, I'm just going to kind of give you more onto the program. So Wendy already laid out why partner with CISL to deliver this program and what are they looking for and what's their vision wanting to do this and together with staffs. So from my side, I'm going to share kind of more details about what program entails, but I think a lot of parts has been said. This is a 12 months long program, but we know staff founders, you are very busy. So we are not expecting you to, you know, be tight with us in ways like very intensive 12 months. We want to spread things across 12 months because we want to be there for you to support your journey and not just a sprint. Obviously, spring is great to get those things in a very short time, but as this is a development for a long term impact. So it's a 12 months program and it comes with a 12 months canopy membership. This is a really exciting part as well. And later my colleagues will share a bit more about what does that mean to be a canopy member. Then this program, obviously, you will have kind of two different parts as already mentioned. The first part is that acceleration site and the second part is that pilot project. So in that acceleration site, you will have different workshops on business elements and as CISL has been in sustainability space for over 30 years. So we also want to bring this sustainability knowledge to you for you to explore and as well as to, you know, discover what else your innovation potentially could do to help transform the industry for good for sustainability. And as well, CISL's network, I think Zoe earlier shared, we have around 30,000 professionals in the world. We want to draw on those industry know-how into the program for you to have the opportunities to really engage with the industry players, knowing what's needed or what's, you know, locking or anything in that space. And as a really exciting part, I think this is probably one of the setting point to you and the reason you come onto this webinar is that pilot project. So I think Wendy already mentioned about how they would like to help and really help you to test it out. And I think this is also a very good opportunity to develop a case study and imagine if you develop a case study with BSI, BSI is well known in the industry. So if you develop this type of case studies, it's really good also for your business development later on. And this program also comes with one-to-one mentoring support. So you will get a lot of support from these two organizations, BSI and CISL. So it's a, we are hoping it's a program that will add a lot of value to you. And next slide please. So in the staff ecosystem, you probably be looking at all these people or organizations and why this program is great value-adding or why BSI and CISL is a great kind of, almost like your partner to work with you because CISL is kind of rich and BSI is rich. It reached to sort of all your stakeholders in this ecosystem. So we are not saying just work with us and don't work with anyone else. We say to achieve impact, you need to work collectively with every stakeholder possible. So we work with different accelerators as well and we work with different corporates and policy makers and everyone in kind of a stakeholder ecosystem. And because of BSI's work and CISL's work, you will have those opportunities when you have sessions. We carefully, you know, design and create it. Then you will possibly have the opportunity to come across with these people in Cambridge as well as the sessions that we arranged if it's in person that you will be able to potentially bump into someone from the policy side or different parts to really have this opportunity to have a conversation with them from the policy to investors to, you know, researchers in Cambridge or as well as well as a lot of corporates. And I think this kind of people connections and resources are one of the strong suits in addition to, you know, our sustainability knowledge as well as the program that we can wait for you. So I think in the next slide, I will just quickly touch on and then I will invite you so to come in. So I think you always as a founder, your time is limited and then to select a program to, you know, kind of invest your time into it, you always look at what are the value? What are you getting from a program? You don't want to just attend a program for the program's sake. But obviously, it's a Cambridge program, that's the credibility there. It's a BSI program. And those are kind of adding a lot of credibility to your journey, particularly if you are really early stage, early stage. But then knowledge that will really help you to grow business, not just on the business side, because we work so much in a sustainability space with policymakers, finance institutions, and we kind of knowing kind of other insights from the past, maybe not yet get done. So those knowledge, you will have those opportunities to kind of learn through the program or informally engaging with us. Then you also will have like a mighty professional founders network in this community. And as I mentioned, you will be able to kind of develop a case study with credible corporates for your later on business development. If you are already in a selling part, then you know to have that case to sell to say who is buying your digital solutions that will really help kind of accelerate your sales growth in that space. And obviously that with the program, there will be also demo dates. So you will have a kind of a exposure to investors, and there will be also kind of social media to help you to gain visibility for your journey. And I guess to sum it up, the program value is very much you have the stakeholder and as well as that kind of community for life is 12 months. But after 12 months, you will also become the network of CISO and BSI and that connection hopefully will help you a lot further. And on this point, I'm going to hand over to Zoe to tell you a little bit more about, we keep talking about canopy, but now Zoe will be able to tell you what does canopy means and in kind of in terms of what value that can add. That's a perfect segue because canopy really first and foremost is a community. It is all about bringing together a community of like minded startups. And these are startups that come from different industries. There are different stages on their startup journey. But the one thing they will have in common is that they are impact driven. They are looking to address a problem in sustainability. And there is just so much value when you're in your own startup journey to coming together with other people that are going through that same process. But as well as the community, the canopy also offers a workspace. So when you join this program, you get access to our Central Cambridge workspace, which is based in the Entopia building. So this is CISL's brand new headquarters in Central Cambridge building that was originally a telephone exchange built in the 1930s. We took it on a few years ago and set out to undergo a really ambitious retrofit project. As far as we're aware, no other project has set the bar quite so high in terms of the standards both around sustainability, but also wellbeing standards. So the Entopia building is a really leading example of how you can take existing building stock and make it very, very sustainable. It's also got circularity at its core, so wherever we could we kept repurposed existing things. There's some really nice examples of this. So actually, let me just share a couple of pictures as well to bring what I'm talking to you to live. Give me one second. Great. So this is the Entopia building in the middle of Historic Cambridge. And yeah, there's some nice little examples. So for example, if the circular economy in practice, wherever we could, we took stuff that was second hand. We upcycled it, we repulsed it. My favorite example is that steel frame there that you can see with the solar panels on that was actually taken from the film set of one of the Marvel's films and we repurposed it for our building. So it's a great space to be in. It's brand new. It's a really nice place to work and joining this program gives you access to that. And I think there's just so much benefit as well if you're a startup in the sustainability space, locating yourself somewhere that kind of lives and breathes those principles and those values. There's a couple of pictures here as well of the sort of space and action. So within the workspace, we obviously have desks that you can access. There are meeting rooms. There is a false floor boardroom, which is great for when you need to impress important clients and the roof terrace, which is my personal favorite. I am looking forward to the summer coming up. It's our first summer with access to the roof terrace and it's just a great space to be in surrounded by people that are passionate and driven by sustainability. As well as the workspace canopy offers its own program of events. So obviously through the BSI program, you will have the spoke support and learning, but also you can access the wider canopy program of events. And this ranges from business support specific to startups through to wider events going on at CISL, industry specific events, and a huge number of just networking opportunities, be that across CISL network or the wider university and Cambridge innovation ecosystem. And yeah, just to recap, I think between Viola and I, we've covered a lot of it really, but first and foremost, canopy is all about bringing together a community. It gives you the opportunity to really kind of come into CISL's world, BSI's world and collaborate with us. You get access to a huge amount of knowledge and thought leadership that is coming out of not just CISL, but also the wider university. The event program offers a huge amount of support and you can access our wonderful workspace. And yeah, we're looking forward to bringing this cohort in to work alongside us and bring even more energy and buzz to what is already a very exciting space. Wonderful. Thank you Zoe. So if there's any questions, please do feel free to point the chart and we will try to answer it, but to kick off probably I will just through the questions and we can just answer because I think you might have questions about this already. So do you need to be based in Cambridge? Wherever you, well not wherever, like if we run programs, there are sessions set in person. We expect you attend in person sessions in person. We know you are really busy, but we want to kind of strike a right balance between in person engagement and virtual side of things. So for mentoring support, I think this is depending on the mentor and yourself, it's likely to be virtual because we can, we will try our best to match businesses for the mentor to mentor. So the mentor may not be based in England or UK. So we will see what best suitable, but then there will be in person sessions. You will not be, we try our best to kind of schedule it in a way that is you come to Cambridge, maybe two days a month and then you get an in person path all done. Obviously you can come more and we welcome you because you also have the membership that to come and then just to sit with us and have informal coffees with, you know, people from a corporate or from different teams as well. But maxima, I think for particular for the first six months, we try our best to schedule maxima like two days in July because there's a kick off. So there will be an additional day. So otherwise, August is a summer holiday. We don't schedule anything in August, but September out here, like kind of a February time, it's probably two days a month in Cambridge. And we try to schedule really like Monday Tuesday. So you come, you stay over. And then once it's done, if you are happy to extend it because there are a lot of things going on in Cambridge, you might want to, you know, kind of extend your stay if you are living a bit further. You can do so. So in terms of a time wise, it's that. And so I think there is a question about to be eligible. Do we need to be incorporated in the UK? If I could get Wendy to kind of give a little bit more information and context on this one, please. Of course. And I think the answer to that is no, you don't have to be incorporated in the UK. As I say, PSI itself is a global company. So that's not really a problem for us. I think it's more of a kind of logistical and practical thing with the, as Leone explained, there are some in-person days, it's really about being available for that. And after the kind of acceleration program in terms of piloting, we are looking to have at least one contact day a month, but hopefully to be in touch much more than that, to kind of discuss the piloting and to, you know, discuss that with each other and taking on progress and see how we're doing, but to at least, you know, be together for one day a month is what we're looking for for this program. Yeah. Thank you. And so I think there's questions about events in London and workspace in London. So Zoe, perhaps I can bring you to answer the particular workspace first. Sure. Yeah. So we don't have workspace in London, not yet. It's fair to say that we're just a short train ride away. So actually Cambridge is very accessible and I think there's so much benefit to connecting yourself to the Cambridge Innovation Ecosystem if you're London-based and certainly a lot of the people we've already worked with have sort of seen that there is there's a lot of benefit of bringing those two ecosystems together. We do have a lot of connections in the in the London kind of innovation space as well, which, you know, hopefully we can help to connect you into by being part of this program. But the short answer is no to workspace in London. And then I think in terms of events in London, as we go along, I think this is something BSI and CSO will be looking at, particularly potentially how we engage with investors from kind of the London space or different space, we will be looking at that. And so, yeah, there's no kind of definitely answers on that just yet, if that makes sense. We also want to look at who we recruit. I think a lot of time you want to get a more kind of bespoke support as well as, you know, sessions. So while there are sessions, it's already set in stone because we believe every business should kind of what need it. But then we also have lack of flexibility so that we want to keep to know who will be on the program, who is on the co-home. And then we are able to kind of find the if you are if you are all kind of in the particular industry, for example, then we are able to kind of reach out to industry experts or, you know, take people in that space or some sort to bring in different kind of us, kind of speakers and so on. And so I think there's the questions about what sessions are included during the accelerator programs. So I can give you kind of three pillars, if that makes sense. So one, it's very much on the sustainability side, because this is what CIS will do. And with 30 years of experience, not that we don't have the publications, we also engage a lot with the industry. So there will be kind of learning blocks about sustainability, you know, system thinking and how you kind of lead for impact or things like this. But then obviously from the business element side, we are also kind of a fairytale. So you will still have the opportunities to go through, you know, your go to market strategy reviews and your revenue models and kind of your funding strategies and these type of things. And then on the third side, obviously, with working with BSI, a good thing is that we are able to bring the industry know how. So we also want to have those, you know, fireside charts, as well as panel discussions to really bring those industry experts to this coho for you to have those dialogue to learn about from their view. What do they see and what's the trend and so on and so forth. So hopefully that gives you a little bit more informations about what sessions will be included. And again, this is not 100% same stone because we really want to get to know the business who will be on this program first. So we are able to kind of provide the support as most needed. So for the next question, just so I was asking, are there any specific commercial terms related to the pilot project and program? So if I could, Wendy, to look you into answer this one, that would be great. Yeah, of course, I have to make, because the piloting is going to be so we want to co-create that with you all and design it in a way that suits you and suits us as well. So it's going to be a case by case. So we don't have any specific kind of overarching commercial terms set out at this stage. I will say though, I think because we are in the spirit of experimentation and piloting with this particular program, it's really that starting point for a collaboration want to see kind of, you know, see what we can learn from it. So everything I think is if we go into this mind and think about all come out of it, we're very open to kind of having those discussions. I think the only thing I would say that we have thought about a little bit more is to do with IP. And I will just say here that, you know, any kind of IP come into the program, we would not absolutely not claim to kind of have any ownership over that, as you might expect. It's really this idea about how can we be testing the things that you have developed in this context of trust and best practice. And then once we see something, if it has promise, then we'll go and discuss, you know, we'll discuss type terms kind of more specifically going on from there. I hope that's helpful. Biela, you're muted. So next questions. It's about very specific questions. So Wendy, if you could take on these questions. Yeah. So the types of businesses, sustainability businesses that we are looking for. I have to say I've somewhat deliberately not gone into detail on that because we want to be open to the thinking that you would be bringing to this. I think the thing we would say is, do you see your solution or your service, your product playing a role in this idea about trust and best practice and the piloting itself as well. Also, as I explained, I think that we'll be creating those use cases with you. We haven't come into this program saying we're looking to do X, Y, Z, therefore we're looking for people to do all of these different things. We actually come here with the spirit of kind of, you know, being creative about it together to think about what the future could look like. And so an example over there about analytics and AI solutions to promote diversity and inclusion, you know, that idea about having monitoring and understanding social impacts within the workforce and also how we can, you know, help people to make better decisions that is definitely something to think about. I would say that, you know, as part of the program, very early on, so in July, you might be able to see on the website, there's a thing we're calling the hack day in July. And the idea for that is that at the very start of the program, we want to take a day with you or with the people on the program to ideate, to think creatively about what it is. What is this use case and trust and best practice that we'll be building with you because that's the starting point of defining what the pilot is. Now, for some of you, that might be incredibly easy to say what that is. You can already see it maybe for something else. We're actually kind of looking a little bit sideways. We'd be excited to do that. And so once we have a better understanding, I think, of what it is we're aiming for, then we are defining the pilot and what we do on the pilot according to that. So what are some of the, you know, through the next few months, we'll be looking to define, you know, what are some of the answers, questions that we're trying to answer, what are some of these hypotheses that we want to test in the pilot. And then we'd be kind of matching you with situations to answer those questions. So it might be, for example, with one of our clients, that might be the way we choose to test it. It could be with BSI itself. We are an organization like any other. So we face the same challenges everyone else does. And also, of course, you probably know, there are some specific organization-based places that are kind of designating themselves to be tested for some of these. So depending on your solution, depending on where we see the trust and best practice use case, we're designing that pilot together. So we are open to these new ideas across the breadth of sustainability. Right. So when we were preparing the web copies for you, staff, it was really hard to create a right balance to give you a sense of what we are looking for. But we also don't want to limit or narrow it down because we believe as innovators like yourself, there must be something else we couldn't think of. But then you are doing it, and it matches really well, and you can really get support from this program. So please do reach out to us if you are not sure. Send us a one-page to say, this is my business. Does that fit? Do feel free to get in touch in this way as well. So there are two questions about whether we take equities or do we make investments. So I would say we don't make investments through this program. And in terms of equities, for the program itself, we don't take equities. But obviously, if you enter in later, entering kind of a commercial agreement separately with BSI, then that's a separate discussions for you and BSI to have. From CISO's perspective, we do not take equities because we are part of the University of Cambridge. And Cambridge have Cambridge Enterprise that is kind of investing in Cambridge spinouts. But CISO, our luxury is that we don't need to, we don't have the restrictions, only work with Cambridge spinouts. So I think this is where we see ourselves really bringing Cambridge's resources and kind of network and possible support to impact staff and founders. So I'm going to go down to the next questions. So there's a question about FCA impact investment cloud funding platforms to be launched in partnership. So your specific question is, is the opportunity open to financial services, staffs and disruptors? So Wendy, if you want to jump in on this one. Simon, I would say it's a little bit difficult without knowing the specifics, I think, of what you're doing. But I would say as a kind of general, I guess the rule of thumb is that we are actually doing some work BSI internally in terms of investment and sustainability. So that is an area that we are doing work in. So it doesn't rule it out. I think it's hard to be specific on your particular opportunity, but I think without understanding it, I would say in theory, yes. Right, thank you. So Rola's question, there is no cost for you to join the program. If you are selected, it's internally free. But I just to say, there are in person sessions that you need to make your own way to Cambridge. So that's your kind of a business cost. You have to cover it for yourself, but all the program sessions and kind of is covered and funded by BSI. And so there are emails in the chart canopy at CISOCAM.ac.uk. If you have other questions after this webinar, feel free to reach out. We'll try our best to answer those questions. So there's the next question. What is the level an idea should have reached to be accepted in the program? So considering there is a piloting after the first six months, and we will be matching you for the first six months, that is kind of the very important part of the program. So if you are really early, just ideas kind of a stage, I would say you're probably unlikely in six months time, you will be have the solution to go into the pilot. So that's kind of how you judge it. If you already start, you know, kind of build a solution is nearly kind of there to ready for that pilot, then that's kind of a stage in general, how we judge it. And it will help them make sense to you. Then so next steps. So now it's open for application, the web page link, if my colleague can just put in the chart again, we are open for application already. And please, please do encourage everyone don't wait for the data. I know everyone has this thing like waiting for the last minute and then put in the applications. We have openly early application, early application interview period. So if your application is in, if we will be reviewing it already, we will not wait. So we will be reviewing already. And if we feel like it seems like a good fit, we will schedule interview during the kind of early application interview period. So you will also get a sense of whether you are likely to be selected or not. And as well as to kind of engage with for a bit further discussions. So please, yeah, if you feel like this sounds like a great opportunity for you, putting in your applications today, if you can, please do send us the supporting documents for the university system, you have to send the documents supporting documents separately. And but please do send send us everything for us to review that will kind of help us to know a bit more understand a bit more about your solution. That would be wonderful. Right, we are 45 minutes. I wonder if there's any more questions from our live audience? If so, we're still happy to answer. And if not, then we will also kind of just close the webinar a bit sooner. Is that the first time you are doing a program? So we have been running a third program since November 2019. We have around 10, 11, 12 sustainability-themed authority programs already. So it's three and a half years time. And how much businesses will be selected? So we aim to select between five to seven businesses. It will be a small cohort because there's a lot of resources that is going into this to support kind of the different each businesses to grow. So up to seven businesses. And who are your mentors and coaches? So our mentors and coaches, and please feel free to jump in Zoe and Wendy because otherwise I'll just answer in questions that I know answers that. And so mentors and coaches, we will be very much you can imagine is our network. So CIS network as well as BSI network. We don't want to just assign you whoever we want to actually know what do you need as a staff founders? We have enough people in our network. We can always reach out to the right one for you, obviously, depending on what exactly you need. But we believe the best way of matching is that knowing what are your challenges, what do you actually need? We don't want to just match you with, okay, this is your business coach, this is your, you know, industry mentor, because if you already have a lot, you know, resources, I'm sure all of you already have lost resources from other accelerator or from your personal network. So we want to be that kind of one to fit in the gap for you. So but there will be people in the industry, people in the innovation ecosystems, and it will be very much from our network mostly. Right, I will see if Wendy, if do you have anything that you want to add here? And as well, Zoe, do you have anything you want to add before we close the session? I'm just buying a little bit of time to see if there's more questions coming up. Yeah, we've done things up pretty well. I guess just back to that question about if it's our first program. And so, like Viola said, it's absolutely not. We've delivered a lot of programs working with more than 200 startups and some, well, all of them incredible, so many kind of awards and achievements we just constantly see new achievements and successes. But I guess what is unique about this program is it is the first time it's been a year long program, and it's the first one that has included sort of bringing people into the workspace too. So it feels very special. It's just the fact that we will get that face-to-face time in the building as well. It's a really exciting one to be launching now. And I think for the pilot part, we're really, I think it's something really exciting and really hope that we will be able to follow kind of your journeys and as well as to help you share your success as we go along. I think there's another questions about do we have a seminary brought and work for the matching to corporate in the pilot program session? If I think this question is probably for you. I was thinking I'm going to take that. I guess the answer is yes, although I wouldn't quite think if it's a network quite so much. I think as I said, in terms of designing that pilot and making sure we're answering the right questions in the right way, we would be using all of our resources and the links that we have to do that. It is probably our client base. But as I said, BSI is an organization. We are also very lucky internally to have a sustainability operations team who are very open to, as their favorite phrase is drinking our own champagne. They want to really showcase us our own work as a way to do this. So we're very open to doing that as well. That could also be a case study for you. And like I said, there are also some tests. So it really does depend on what challenge we're trying to kind of answer really with the pilot. Fantastic. Right. I think this is probably the moment for us to close this webinar. And thank you very much all for joining live. And if you are watching this recording, feel free still also to reach out to us. And the email will be canopy or at CIS, I'm sorry, ciso.cam.ac.uk.
