Are you ready to join the ecosystem with a track record of matching the right capital with the right hardtech to drive Industrial Decarbonisation?
There are lots of climate events. There are lots of investor-startup events. Only Decarb TechInvest Europe brings together 180+ of the most significant investors, tech disruptors and strategics focused on industrial decarbonisation.
Our goal is simple: we facilitate investments across the full capital stack to de-risk, scale and exit essential hardtech and startups at Series B+ and FOAK phase, to accelerate the commercialisation of breakthrough technologies.
Amid major changes in international policy, and an uncertain regulatory environment, Decarb TechInvest Europe brings together the most active participants in the ecosystem to drive forward technologies with real impact and potential. A unique opportunity to forge and strengthen connections with investors and technology entrepreneurs leading climate innovation from proven effectiveness to successful commercial adoption.
The event brings together the full capital stack: growth equity, family offices, PE, pension and sovereign wealth funds along with strategic investors. We invite carefully chosen investors in critical hardtech for hard-to-abate sectors and matching them with the startups that matter.
Industrial decarb is capital intensive and needs de-risking and scaling through well-managed pilots and FOAKs – so who are the investors that see the opportunity and are stepping up? Who is taking on the baton and investing in developed asset classes for exit? And which disruptors have the industrial insight to shine brighter and scale up faster and further?
