Climate Tech: The Next Big Opportunity

Climate tech spans a lot of ground: energy, food systems, materials, carbon removal, and more. Where are the hardest problems and the greatest needs, and what are the opportunities to address them? Join Oxford Edge, the ZERO Institute and OX1 Incubator for a guided tour of the challenges shaping our climate future, looking at the potential impact of different technologies over the decades ahead and what's commercially possible and scalable. The event will mark the launch of OX1's climate track and will also be an opportunity to learn about Oxford Climate Ventures, a pre-accelerator programme delivered by the Oxford Saïd Entrepreneurship Centre and the ZERO Institute. Thursday 22 October, 5 to 8pm, Oxford Edge, 37 St Giles.
