TESTIMONIALS

“The Wates Innovation Network ‘WIN’ and working closely with Dr Zainab and the Wates team has been a very powerful, effective tool and forum for our Banking Group to engage and collaborate with. It will help us to further develop our ambitious new set of operational climate pledges.”

“95% of market ready sustainable technologies never get considered because key decision makers are not aware of these products and suppliers don’t have access to the key corporate decision makers. At Wates our aim is to bridge this gap.”
