ClimateHack Amsterdam: Post COP30 Predictions & the Future of Sustainability in the Entrepreneurship Ecosystem
In Partnership with AMS Institute
Join us for conversation as we navigate the post-COP30 landscape. This ClimateHack Amsterdam event brings together private and public funders, policy advisors, and ecosystem builders to decode what's next for climate entrepreneurship.
As COP30 outcomes reshape global climate commitments, how will funding flows, regulatory frameworks, and market opportunities evolve? Our expert panel will share perspectives on emerging policy trends, investment priorities, and the economic forces driving sustainable innovation across Europe. How do we take immediate action, better deploy capital, and collaborate to build a regenerative future?
Following the panel, join us for networking drinks and snacks to continue the conversation and connect with fellow innovators driving the intersection of technology and sustainability.
Note: event will be conducted in English
