As the UK accelerates its transition to net zero, housing remains one of the most complex and urgent challenges. National and local governments need reliable, scalable insights and reliable technologies to inform policy, investment, and delivery – from retrofit strategies to new build standards. This panel brings together one of the conversations shaping the future of housing through data-led decision-making.

Hosted by James George, Chief Sustainability Strategist at the Vyne Group, the discussion will explore how innovative data architecture at both national and city levels is transforming the way we understand housing stock, target interventions, and track progress towards decarbonisation. Joseph Daniels Chairman of ELXIR and Forbes 30 under 30, will bring perspective on the role of digital platforms, true technology, and innovation in housing, while UKRI representative (tbc) will highlight how research and funding are enabling systemic approaches. Together, the panellists will examine what it takes to move from fragmented datasets to actionable intelligence that drives fair, efficient, and impactful outcomes for communities.

Join us to hear how collaboration across government, innovators, and industry is using data to unlock the scale and precision needed to deliver a truly sustainable built environment.
