Harrison Oates’ Post

Reflecting on an intense and inspiring couple of days at Climb25 last week, a very unique event bringing together businesses, investors, innovators, and founders tackling real-world challenges. The only photo I managed to take (that wasn’t of someone’s contact details!) was of my own lanyard, which shows how absorbing and energising the experience was. It was a great opportunity to see where SwitchDye fits within the broader innovation landscape, and how we can stay focused on sustainability while also making a compelling economic case for change in the textile industry. I was incredibly proud to be a finalist for Emerging Talent of the Year. A close call in the end and congrats to the very worthy winner! Just being part of the shortlist was a privilege and a valuable experience in itself. Huge thanks to the organisers, to Pilar Rubio Peña especially, and to Victoria Garcia, Sharon Risley and Quick Labs for helping start this whole journey. Great to meet some new friends and old faces too Gregory Meyers Kevin Chirayil George Widdows Rifat Hussain #Climb25 #Sustainability #Innovation #SwitchDye #EmergingTalent #GreenTech #Textiles
