Capital.com spearheads green entrepreneurship at COP 28's Sustainable Trade Forum, focusing on reshaping trade to be environmentally friendly, swift, and inclusive.

Fostering Green Entrepreneurship

Capital.com, a leading European financial investment platform, took center stage at the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP 28). As a sponsor of the UAE Ministry of the Economy's Sustainable Trade Forum, Capital.com positioned itself as a catalyst for green entrepreneurship. The Forum is intended to modernize trade to become greener, faster and more inclusive.

The event, part of COP 28's inaugural official trade day, brought together key figures such as Hamza Yousuf, First Minister of Scotland, and major private sector players, including General Electric, IBM, and Uber. The forum focused on reshaping global trade to align with environmental goals, emphasizing speed, inclusivity, and sustainability.

Green Entrepreneurship and Strengthening Sustainable Supply Chains

The Sustainable Trade Forum unfolded in two sessions. The first, "Fostering Green Entrepreneurship: Nurturing a Sustainability-led Startup Ecosystem," looked at how the private and public sectors can work together to create the most productive and supportive environments for climate tech founders. The second, "Strengthening Sustainable Supply Chain Resilience: Navigating Global Disruption," explored the intricacies of green supply chain frameworks that can significantly contribute to more resilient and green value chains as well as sustainable business practices.

The Importance of ESG

Newly appointed Capital.com Group CEO Kypros Zoumidou, a key speaker at the forum, highlighted the company’s observations, saying, “The number 1 most traded stock on our platform is Tesla - an EV company with clear climate goals closely followed by popular sustainable tech companies like Apple, Microsoft and Alphabet,” he said. “Like the rest of the world’s consumers, retail traders want to allocate their money to companies that offer great products, are well-managed and are conscientious global corporate citizens. But all investors' attitudes are changing - more and more institutional investors are demanding impact investments.”

Zoumidou stressed the evolving investor mindset, indicating a growing demand for impact investments. Capital.com is at the forefront, introducing a rating system allowing over 500,000 traders to assess companies based on their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance.

Zoumidou concluded, "A sustainable future is not just socially responsible; sustainable companies are also investible." As the world pivots towards impactful investments, Capital.com stands as a beacon for reshaping trade practices and fostering green entrepreneurship.

    Executive Interview | Brendan Callan | CEO, TRADU | FMLS:25

    Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner. In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences. We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading. This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
