IDEAs Rewired #3: Can technology save the world?

Alyssa Gilbert, Director of Undaunted and Director of Innovation at Imperial’s Grantham Institute, sits down with Lok Yee Liu to discuss the launch of EarthScale, a nationwide, university-led programme providing vital scaling support to climate tech startups in that tricky ‘missing middle’. Alyssa also responds to students’ anxiety around the impact of their tech use on the planet. EarthScale is announcing its first cohort of ventures in October 2025.
