SUMMARY:Climatech Summit 2026
DESCRIPTION:The climate challenge has never been a single problem with a single solution: it runs through every system that shapes how we live. \nMeeting this moment requires transformative innovation across all of our world’s industrial systems: how we power our lives\, move through cities\, build and manufacture goods\, grow and distribute food\, and manage the natural resources the whole planet depends on. \nAnd at Greentown\, our bet is on the entrepreneur. \nBut no founder succeeds alone: breakthroughs scale when entire ecosystems of innovators\, corporates\, investors\, researchers\, philanthropists\, and policymakers move together. \nThat’s why once a year\, we open our incubators and invite you to step inside our labs to meet our 260+ climatetech startups\, hear perspectives from industry leaders\, and forge connections with changemakers across the ecosystem. \nThis is where the right people find each other. We hope you’ll be one of them!
