(UK) – Global lighting company Signify, has joined Sustainable Ventures as a corporate partner in a move aimed at supporting the development and adoption of climate-tech solutions across the UK.

As part of the partnership, Signify will integrate its connected lighting technology into Sustainable Ventures’ workspaces nationwide. The organisations say the installations will serve as examples of how smart lighting can contribute to energy efficiency and the UK’s wider ambition to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.

The agreement will also see Signify work with Sustainable Ventures on a range of innovation programmes, sharing industry expertise and exploring opportunities for joint development in areas including decarbonisation, net-zero planning, intelligent buildings, circularity, and digital energy management.

Signify will also join Sustainable Ventures’ workspace community, gaining access to their hubs across the country, which are designed to embody One Planet Living principles. Powered by renewable energy and built with circular principles and a sustainability-first design, these spaces provide an environment that reflects and reinforces the values driving the climate tech community, as well as Signify’s commitment to sustainability.

“The climate-tech sector is growing at an exciting pace, and we at Signify are proud to support that momentum by joining Sustainable Ventures,” says Nico van der Merwe, CEO, Signify UKI.

“Collaborating with pioneering innovators who are part of Sustainable Ventures will enable us to amplify our impact across industries. Lighting plays a pivotal role in driving energy savings and enabling smarter, more efficient buildings. Our membership reinforces our commitment to advancing technologies that support decarbonisation, improve energy efficiency, and accelerate meaningful climate action on the path to a low-carbon future.” says Nico van der Merwe, CEO, Signify UKI.

Simon Brown, Partner, Corporate Innovation, Sustainable Ventures, adds: “We are thrilled to welcome Signify to our climate tech community. The lighting solutions that Signify have retrofitted into our unique London workspace at County Hall are truly fantastic and tell the story of what’s possible when retrofitting sustainable lighting solutions into a Grade II listed building.

“But what I am most excited about is extending this collaboration into our broader ecosystem, where we can connect Signify’s expertise with our 1,000+ startups and other key partners. This integrated support model is what truly accelerates the deployment of commercial innovation needed to drive net-zero solutions at scale.”
