Investment is crucial if we are to harness Scotland’s potential in Climate Tech.

Climate Tech venture funding is coming from a range of different market investors from private investors to government, the more traditional VC firms and venture funds specialising in sustainability, to corporate investors right through to government-backed funds.

Join us on 14th September and hear about the investment landscape across the UK and the ongoing focus on climate technologies.

We will be joined by:
