The State of Regenerative Technology 2026

​Reimagining technology to regenerate life rather than degrade it has never been more urgent.

​Today’s technologies are amplifying both possibility and harm. Alongside innovation, we’re seeing deeper social divisions, worsening mental health, accelerating material extraction and pollution, growing power asymmetries, and the erosion of local and community agency.

​This virtual gathering is a moment to pause and take stock.

​Hosted by the Regenerative Technology Project, State of the State: Regenerative Technology 2026 brings together technologists, investors, researchers, and systems thinkers to examine where the tech sector stands today, and what it would take to redesign technology in service of life, communities, and planetary health.

​Rather than focusing on a single solution, the event explores emerging questions and patterns shaping the next chapter of technology, including:

• ​What might regenerative AI look like — and how is it different from simply “sustainable” or “green” tech?
  

• ​How could indigenous and place-based wisdom inform the design of modern technological systems?
  

• ​What would it mean to digitize stewardship, care, and accountability — rather than extraction and control?
  

• ​How might we reimagine the technology stack to support regeneration across social, ecological, and economic systems?
  

​The session will include a presentation followed by facilitated Q&A and discussion. It’s designed for people working inside and adjacent to the tech ecosystem — from corporate and investment environments to regenerative, research, and community-based spaces — who sense that business-as-usual is no longer enough.

​This is an invitation to learn, question, and think together about what technology is becoming, and what it still could be.
