This includes:
Increasing funds for innovative international development projects
Increasing R&D tax credits for startups and small businesses (not just for big businesses)

Emma and Natalie, Co-Founders of Dear Bump, talk about their ideas for innovating policy to help pregnant women in the workplace.

Dan Etenberg, Founder & CEO of LIA Aerospace, discusses why green policies in space are becoming increasingly important.

Gemma Guilera, Co-Founder & Director of Moving Beans, suggests city councils, waste facility managers, and big industries come together to build a common budget - overseen by an executive body - to be responsible for driving sustainability forward.
Promisingly, she says as long as we breathe we can solve issues!
In addition, Nawful Raj, Founder of Yū Pods, believes we need to reduce consumption, eliminate the use of non-recyclable and micro-plastics, and fund more non-tech-based companies (to solve environmental issues).
