Join the largest global gathering of climate innovators

Three years post-pandemic, we face supply chain issues, inflation, energy crises, and war.

Yet, the overshadowing climate crisis remains inadequately addressed. Despite a rise in climate-focused startups and investors, gaps persist.

Under the 2023 theme 'Pivot', we seek solutions to amplify climate actions. How can founders achieve global impact? The answer lies in shifting to impact-driven models and embracing 'impact capitalism'—balancing profit with positive change.

Join the ClimateTech Founders Summit 2023: a two-day event offering insights and networking with climate innovators and leaders.

Content Overview

Solutions Stage

With the 2030 climate goals only being 93 months away, a shift of thinking, innovating and most importantly disrupting needs to happen. As an industry deep rooted in solutions, and creating new perspectives, immerse yourself in the leading insight changing how we work, play and live.

Policymakers lack the ambition to implement tangible, life changing measures to halt climate change, so we must come together as founders, activists, scientists to create solutions to combat climate change.

The Solutions stage brings the best in the industry to create a shift in thinking for all of us. From our people, to our business, to our solutions. It will showcase the disruptive innovations from startups and corporates who are leading the game in creating practical solutions.
Leadership & Talent Stage

People make businesses, and while creating life changing solutions or disrupting and innovating the industry, people are at the centre of it! Now more than ever, we need to look at our people, leaders and community to come together and rewrite the narrative of climate change.

We need the individuals across business and impact founders to shift their focus towards climate change and & empower individuals towards the net-positive impact economy.


The Leadership and Talent stage will allow attendees to evolve, grow and step into the true leaders, not only the ones the industry needs, but the world.
