AI Meets Climate Adaptation: Unlocking Resilience Across Assets
Join us for a breakfast during Climate Tech week organized by Cathay Innovation around AI Meets Climate Adaptation: Unlocking Resilience Across Assets.
As climate risks intensify, adaptation is rapidly emerging as the next frontier of climate tech—and AI is becoming a critical enabler. From wildfire prediction and grid resilience to insurance, infrastructure, and natural capital, a new wave of startups is redefining how we anticipate and respond to physical climate risks.
This session brings together founders, investors, and operators at the intersection of AI and climate adaptation to explore how intelligence is being embedded across real-world systems. We’ll discuss where AI is already delivering value, how business models differ across asset classes—from datacenters to ecosystems—and what it takes to scale solutions in complex, regulated environments.
Join us for a conversation on the evolving “adaptation stack", the rise of new investment opportunities, and how technology can help build resilience in a hotter, more volatile world.
