Save the date and join us for this exciting Grand Finale at Ecosperity Week as we present to you our finalists for 2025 with the most brilliant innovations and network with our global ecosystem of partners, funders and innovators.
From experimental stages to impactful, real-world applications, the journey of most climate tech innovations today relies on a complex combination of factors from commercial viability and access to funding. But is there a distinct ‘X factor’ that tips the scales of success in favour of promising climate technologies today amid the uncertain macroeconomic outlook?
In 2024, global investment in private climate tech ventures totalled US$92 billion as decarbonisation efforts gained momentum, with key growth areas including clean energy, low- carbon mobility and carbon capture attracting funding.
However, these investments are skewed towards large-scale investments, making it challenging for smaller and early-stage ventures to achieve commercial scale and economic viability.
This raises a critical question – how can we identify the elusive breakthroughs that enable climate technologies to evolve beyond prototypes and pilot projects into game-changing solutions that address pressing climate challenges?
Together, we will examine key challenges and critical success factors – including technological feasibility, market readiness, policy support and societal acceptance – that empower climate technologies to transition from promising concepts to trailblazing solutions capable of driving meaningful climate action.
