Talk Event: Implementing Nature Finance with a Scientific Approach: The Path to Nature Positivity Based on Biodiversity and Natural Capital Big Data

Our company promotes "investment in natural capital" by leveraging data-driven intelligence. In this session, we will discuss how the "visualization of the state of nature" based on natural big data supports financial and economic decision-making, and the path towards realizing a "world in harmony with nature" through nature finance with a scientific approach, by viewing natural capital from both "beta (market-wide foundation/risk management)" and "alpha (individual added value)" perspectives.
