Enjoy dinner drinks and a chance to meet…
Arthur Kay is founder and CEO of bio-bean, an award-winning clean technology company that recycles waste coffee grounds (WCG) into advanced biofuels and biochemicals. In three years Arthur has built up a team of over 25 people including bio-chemical engineers, financiers and designers, raised several million in funding and built the world's first waste coffee recycling factory. bio-bean works within the existing energy and waste infrastructure to collect WCG from the UK's offices, transport hubs, coffee shops and coffee factories.
This dinner is perfect for…
Entrepreneurs, CEOs and founders interested in fundraising and growth, as well as those working in food waste, foodtech or cleantech.
The dinner conversation will be…
Arthur will be speaking about:
✓ The bio-bean story.
✓ Trends and predictions for food waste.
✓ How he recruited the right team (of 25 people, he is the second youngest!).
✓ Fundraising in the sector (he's raised over £2m).
Who’s Arthur Kay?
Arthur first came up with the idea for bio-bean whilst studying as an architecture student at The Bartlett, UCL when he was set the task of designing a coffee shop and coffee roastery. He noticed the huge volumes of waste coffee grounds being thrown into landfill at an enormous economic and environmental cost and was driven to take action. bio-bean's pioneering factory has the capacity to transform up to 50,000 tonnes of WCG each year, the waste from one in ten cups of coffee drunk in the UK, which can produce enough energy to heat 104,000 homes
What’s included?
You get a private dining experience with a knowledgeable speaker, 2 course dinner with wine plus highly curated and relevant crowd at the table.
