The UK’s first ReFi Spring event – we aim to connect the Crypto, Climate and ReFi scenes in Bristol, the South West, and beyond…
ReFi (Regenerative Finance) is a rapidly growing ecosystem of people, ideas, and organisations working towards a regenerative world order. New markets and initiatives are emerging across natural capital, carbon, clean energy, food & agriculture, the circular economy and more… There is boundless opportunity to be a part of this emergent movement.
