Climate Tech Meetup vol. 06 | Financing Scale
How do we move climate tech hardware from a promising pilot to a bankable, scalable business?
This edition tackles one of the most critical bottlenecks in the energy transition: the financing gap facing scaleup stage climate tech companies and how instruments like guarantees and European best practices can help close it.
We're bringing together leaders from policy, finance, industry, and the startup ecosystem for a frank and forward-looking conversation.

About the Climate Tech Meetup Series
The series is co-hosted by Tech for Net Zero, dena and World Fund.
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.
