Climate Tech: The Next Big Opportunity

Where are climate tech's hardest problems, and which solutions can scale? An evening mapping the opportunities.


Banner for Climate Tech: The Next Big Opportunity, a panel from Oxford Edge, the ZERO Institute and OX1 Incubator on Thursday 22 October at Oxford Edge.

What it is

Climate tech covers a lot of ground: energy, food systems, materials, carbon removal and more. Where are the hardest problems and the greatest needs, and where are the opportunities to address them?

Oxford Edge, the ZERO Institute and OX1 Incubator will guide you through the challenges shaping our climate future. The panel will look at the potential impact of different technologies over the coming decades, and at what is commercially possible and scalable.

The evening marks the launch of OX1's climate track. It's also a chance to learn about Oxford Climate Ventures, a pre-accelerator programme delivered by the Oxford Saïd Entrepreneurship Centre and the ZERO Institute.
