Event description

It’s been a remarkable year for climate tech in Australia. While much remains to be done, the progress is undeniable. Join us for an afternoon designed to inspire, connect and engage the entire climate tech community through three unique sessions.

Your Investor Connect ticket gives you access to —

1-3pm: Investor Connect
An exclusive, investor-only session designed for focused discussions and strategic networking with fellow climate tech investors. With a strong focus on key issues for 2025, this session will provide valuable insights, foster collaboration and set the stage for impactful actions in the coming year.

Agenda Highlights:

Three Big Speakers:
- Tim Buckley, Director, Climate Energy Finance – "The Energy Transformation - Looking Towards 2025"
- New: Kristin Vaughan, Managing Partner, Virescent Ventures
- New: Nathan Fabian, Chief Sustainable Systems Officer at PRI
Focused Discussions: A chance for direct conversations with other investors in a dedicated space, exploring these themes and more:
- FOAK (First-of-a-Kind) Projects, led by Main Sequence – Dive into the challenges, innovative solutions, and next steps for advancing pioneering projects in climate tech.
- 2025 Priorities and Actions, led by Virescent Ventures – Identify critical focus areas for the coming year and discuss practical actions to drive growth and maximise impact across the sector.
Open Networking: Wrap up the session with dedicated networking time to strengthen relationships and explore new partnerships.

3-5pm: Founder & Investor Connect
Founders join the room, facilitating warm intros and quick conversations between founders and investors. These brief sessions help both sides explore alignment and set the stage for potential follow-ups. Following the intros, open networking time will be available to continue conversations. We already have 55 founders signed up for this session.

5-8pm: Australian Climate Tech Connect & Awards
To cap off the day, the full climate tech ecosystem—government, corporates, media, researchers, and more—comes together for the 2024 Australian Climate Tech Awards. This inspiring evening includes a keynote from multiple Walkley Award-winning journalist Tracey Spicer, climate tech award presentations and networking over canapés and drinks, celebrating the industry’s achievements and looking toward the future.
