How do we move climate hardware from promising pilot to bankable, scalable business?
This edition tackles one of the most critical bottlenecks in the energy transition: the financing gap facing scale-up stage climate tech companies and how instruments like guarantees and European best practices can help close it.

About the Climate Tech Meetup Series
The Climate Tech Meetup is a deliberate space for the people who matter most to the energy transition to find each other. Each edition convenes the key players across the climate tech ecosystem: founders scaling deep tech solutions, investors deploying catalytic capital, policymakers shaping the regulatory environment, and industry leaders accelerating adoption.
By fostering direct, high-trust exchange across sectors that rarely interact at this depth, the meetup series aims to turn conversations into collaborations, and collaborations into systemic impact.
