Conferences are crucial to spurring growth in the climate tech ecosystem. Climate tech conferences are places for collaboration, learning, networking, and raising funding. There are many climate tech conferences throughout the year that attract promising startups, venture capital investors, corporates, policymakers, and enthusiasts all under one roof.

Scouting relevant climate tech events can be challenging. So, we’ve created a list of the best climate tech conferences to attend in 2026.

The Ultimate List of Important Climate Tech Conferences in 2026

We have compiled a global list of climate tech events, including conferences, summits, festivals, and exhibitions important to the climate tech ecosystem. The list has been created to make it easier for everyone in the ecosystem, and we’re working hard to make it as comprehensive as possible.

The conference list is set up so that you can filter through region, scope, dates, and themes to find the events that meet your requirements.

We have gone the extra mile and also classified the events based on who is expected to attend: startups, VC investors, and corporate innovation teams.

We also have a section where you can see if Net Zero Insights is going to be at the event. If you’re attending too, please find us and come say hi.

The list does not include demo days or meetups, since it is difficult to keep track of all of them, and they tend to have a very specific agenda.
