Summary

Some novel nature-based materials have been around for millennia but have fallen out of mainstream use, while others are entirely new and innovative. The regenerative capability of new nature-based construction materials may be well-documented but it doesn’t automatically follow that a regenerative product can be brought into the supply chain. How do we identify and overcome the stumbling blocks in insurance, warranties and other barriers? Speakers Matthew Margetts, Director of Sales and Marketing - Smarter Technologies Rachel Norris, Senior Vice President - Lockton LLP Brendan Geraghty, CEO - ARL Andy Kane, Head of Construction & Engineering - QBE Europe Sam Draper, CEO - Seratech
