This presentation accompanies my Keynote Speech to the Global Green Leaders Summit held in Sydney in September of 2013

1. Green Leaders Summit 2013
September 9th -12th, Sydney, Australia
“Seeding innovation through demand”
Matthew Tukaki
Executive Chairman of Sustain Group
Director (eo) of the Board, the United Nations Global Compact
Chair, UNGC Local Networks Advisory Group
Chair , the Pacific Energy Corporation

2. Two inter-connected challenges:
1. Population
2. Innovation to meet demand

3. Population: rise of the middle
class in developing nations
The size of the “global middle class” will increase from 1.8
billion in 2009 to 3.2 billion by 2020 and 4.9 billion by 2030.
The bulk of this growth will come from Asia: by 2030 Asia will
represent 66% of the global middle-class population and 59%
of middle-class consumption, compared to 28% and 23%,
respectively in 2009

4. Population: rise of the middle class
What does it mean? Opportunity and
challenge: Indonesia: a further 70 million by 2020 /
Imagine this:
Each can afford five new appliances (electric rise cooker,
Electric Jug, LCD television, Laptop Computer, Smartphone):
350 million new appliances connected to the
energy grid

5. Innovation as a two tiered tool
1. Build and develop industry
2. Support the rise of the middle class
in developing nations

6. I’m searching for:
That one big,
transformative
idea…..
…..Because I’m in the business of
changing lives
