Former President of Ireland, Mary Robinson and Nico Rosberg, sustainability entrepreneur, lead an impressive array of climate change innovators focused on creating a greener future.

LONDON and BERLIN, Sept. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — GTF Connect, the international event series run by Europe’s leading sustainable tech event GREENTECH FESTIVAL (GTF), returned to London on 4th and 5th September for the third time. Held at the city’s legendary “Ministry of Sound”, the event was themed “Turning Crisis into Opportunity”. With 700 visitors, it proved to be a great success, surpassing attendees’ expectations.

At the heart of the event was the CONFERENCE that captivated attendees with inspiring speeches and forward-thinking panel discussions. Attended by business leaders and innovators, it facilitated connections to showcase greener technologies, approaches and solutions to help tackle the issue of climate change.

The fully booked event started with the prestigious GREEN AWARDS on the evening of the 4th of September, presented by Audi which celebrated the most innovative projects and minds. Winners on the evening were:

Cheesecake Energy, winner of the UK “Start-up” category, provides commercial and industrial customers with a sustainable, modular compressed air energy storage system that converts intermittent renewable energy into reliable, on-demand power using repurposed hardware.In the category “Changemaker” Zenobē won the coveted prize. The company democratizes clean energy by using battery storage, second-life batteries, and fleet electrification to maximize renewable energy adoption and reduce reliance on diesel generators.

Mary Robinson, the first female President of Ireland, received the “Lifetime Achievement Award” for her tireless work addressing the fundamental causes of climate change, and her ongoing efforts to address climate injustice around the world. She also served as the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and is a founding member and current Chair of The Elders, a group of global leaders dedicated to promoting peace, justice and human rights worldwide.

Accepting the award, she said: “Thank you for this incredible honour; I accept this with deep gratitude. The GREENTECH FESTIVAL is doing wonderful work and we’re moving faster because of the innovations created by the type of green technology companies that GTF supports. But we’re still not moving fast enough for science. We can bring about real change if we connect together, know our power and grow it.”

Nico Rosberg said: “This year’s GTF Connect created a space for people and companies to come together and accelerate positive change through innovation. Attendance at the event hit record levels for London and there was a real focus on collaboration between the companies who presented and those who attended. It has given businesses a great platform on which to build a more sustainable, connected future.”

The second day featured the CONFERENCE, partnered with Vodafone Business, which was opened by Mary Robinson and Howard Dawber (Deputy Mayor, Business and Growth). Throughout the day, over 40 speakers including Dale Vince, (founder and CEO, Ecotricity), Julia Pallé (sustainability director at Formula E), Richard Templer (professor of Climate Innovation at Imperial College London) and Klaus Mitchell (founder & CEO Plant Based News) discussed topics around the event’s sub-themes of vibrant and sustainable communities, energy for tomorrow and financing change.

One of the key aims of GTF Connect is empowering innovation and disruptive sustainable business models which was integrated into the event in the shape of the Green Startup Slams and a GREEN INVESTORS CRUNCH. These events allowed startups to pitch to and connect with venture capitalists, corporate leaders, and decision-makers. The winner of the Green Startup Slam was Radiant Matter, who will be joining the Grand Final at GTF Berlin in 2025.

GTF Connect in London also featured a special session with three postgraduate students from the University of Oxford’s SDG Impact Lab, part of a partnership with Nico Rosberg’s nonprofit organisation Rosberg Philanthropies. This venture supports initiatives that help preserve the planet for future generations. The purpose of the partnership is to develop more collaboration between academia and industry to advance the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

Marco Voigt, co-founder of GTF, commented: “The GREENTECH FESTIVAL believes that together we can and must turn crisis into opportunity. Our London event was the perfect platform to encourage more businesses to focus on sustainable solutions to overcome the challenges associated with this. The start-up businesses attending GTF Connect highlighted just some of the ways that innovative thinking will help to solve the climate challenges of tomorrow.”

The GTF Connect series will now travel to Singapore in October and Los Angeles in November as an extension of Berlin’s GREENTECH FESTIVAL which welcomed over 14,000 visitors in May this year. Ticket sales and press accreditation are already open for both events.

Best AI Tools for Marketing Content (2026): CapCut Recognized for Faster AI-Powered Video and Image Creation by Better Business Advice

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Better Business Advice has recognized CapCut in its 2026 coverage of the best AI tools for marketing content, highlighting its collection of AI-powered features for creating and editing videos, images, audio, and other campaign assets. The recognition reflects growing interest in tools that help transform creative concepts into usable marketing materials while reducing the manual work involved in production.

Best AI Marketing Tools

Seedance 2.0 – an AI video generation model that creates videos from text prompts or imagesSeedream – an AI image generation model that creates high-quality visuals from text prompts

AI-powered content creation is changing how businesses develop digital marketing campaigns. From promotional videos and product imagery to social media graphics and branded audio, organizations face growing demand for creative assets across multiple digital channels. Tools that simplify production and support faster experimentation are becoming an increasingly important part of modern marketing workflows.

CapCut offers a range of AI-assisted capabilities covering several stages of content creation. These include text-based video generation, AI image generation, background removal, image expansion, music generation, and photo animation. Together, the tools provide options for producing marketing assets for social media, digital advertising, product promotions, and other online campaigns.

AI Video Generation Supports Promotional Campaigns

Video is an important format for communicating product information, presenting services, and building audience engagement. However, producing video content regularly can require significant planning, editing, and creative resources.

CapCut’s Seedance 2.0 AI video generator supports prompt-based video creation. Users can describe a creative concept and generate video content that serves as a starting point for further development.

The capability can support promotional videos, product showcases, educational content, and social media campaigns. It also gives creators a way to explore different visual approaches during the planning stage before refining the selected direction.

For businesses producing content across multiple channels, AI-assisted video generation can help reduce the effort required to develop initial concepts. Generated material can then be reviewed and edited to align with campaign objectives, brand guidelines, and platform requirements.

Image Generation Helps Develop Marketing Concepts

Visual assets influence how products, services, and campaigns are presented to audiences. Developing suitable imagery often involves several rounds of brainstorming and creative testing before a final direction is selected.

CapCut’s Seedream AI image generator enables users to create images from text prompts. The tool can support concept drafts, campaign planning, and experimentation with different visual styles.

For example, a seasonal marketing campaign may require several approaches to backgrounds, compositions, and visual themes. AI-generated drafts can help illustrate those options before resources are committed to final production.

CapCut’s GPT Image 2 provides another option for generating images from natural language instructions. The feature can support the development of promotional graphics, campaign imagery, and other visual assets.

These tools help shorten the early stages of creative development by making it easier to turn written ideas into visual references. Human review remains important to ensure the resulting assets accurately represent the product and meet the campaign’s requirements.

Image Editing Simplifies Asset Preparation

AI image generation is only one part of preparing content for publication. Existing photographs and graphics often need adjustments before they can be used across marketing channels.

CapCut’s AI background removal tool helps separate subjects from their original backgrounds. This can be useful when preparing product images, promotional graphics, and other assets that require a different visual setting.

The AI Image Extender addresses the challenge of adapting images to different layouts. By generating content beyond an image’s original boundaries, the tool can help users adjust compositions for different formats without relying entirely on cropping or stretching.

These capabilities can support the preparation of visuals for social media posts, website banners, digital advertisements, and product promotions. They also provide options for repurposing existing creative assets instead of producing entirely new images for every placement.

AI Audio and Photo Animation Expand Creative Options

Marketing content often combines visuals, movement, and sound to communicate a message. Producing these elements separately can add complexity to the creative process.

CapCut’s SeedMusic AI audio generator supports AI-assisted music creation based on creative prompts. Generated music can be used as a starting point for videos, promotional campaigns, and other multimedia projects, subject to appropriate review and usage requirements.

The platform’s Photo-to-3D tool offers another way to adapt still images into more dynamic visual content. This capability can help transform existing photography into animated presentations for product showcases, social media, and digital promotions.

By supporting audio creation and image animation alongside video and image tools, CapCut provides additional options for developing varied marketing materials.

A Connected Workflow for Marketing Content

CapCut’s collection of AI-powered features supports several stages of campaign production within one creative environment. A project could begin with concept images generated through Seedream, followed by visual development with GPT Image 2. Background removal and image expansion can then help prepare assets for different placements.

Selected visuals can be incorporated into video projects using Seedance 2.0, while SeedMusic offers an option for developing accompanying audio. Photo-to-3D can provide another format for repurposing existing images.

Not every campaign requires all these capabilities. Their practical value depends on the content format, production requirements, and intended audience. Reviewing generated assets for accuracy, visual consistency, and suitability remains essential before publication.

Better Business Advice’s recognition of CapCut reflects the growing role of AI-assisted production in digital marketing. As businesses continue to develop content for multiple channels, tools that support video creation, image generation, editing, and multimedia production can help simplify creative workflows while leaving room for human direction and quality control.
