Climate Innovation: Driving Momentum in 2025 and Beyond

In 2024, investment in the low-carbon energy transition hit a record high. From ultra-deep geothermal energy to seaweed packaging, startups developing a wide range of technologies have announced major funding milestones over the past 12 months. Zooming out, recent decades have seen impressive progress in areas such as solar energy, while other ‘hard-to-abate’ industries need further innovation to meet decarbonisation targets. As we look ahead to the rest of 2025 and beyond, where are climate tech investors seeing momentum? And how can systems thinking help us deliver the innovation we need?

🗓️ Date & Time: 16:00-17:00 GMT, 12th March 2025

In our first virtual event since joining the edie family, we are bringing together three experts to help you separate the signal from the noise surrounding climate innovation. During this hour-long session, each of our speakers – who have practical experience supporting or investing in game-changing innovators – will explain one key trend they’re focusing on in 2025 and what it means for businesses. This will be followed by a Q&A discussion with the moderator.
