Scaling a climate-tech start-up takes more than a breakthrough idea — it demands strong teams, world-class talent, and the right mix of technology and investment. As the race to net zero accelerates, founders are competing not only for capital but also for skilled people who can turn vision into impact, often against the backdrop of AI-driven disruptors and global players.
This panel will explore how mission-driven start-ups can attract and retain top talent, foster resilient cultures in uncertain markets, and build the teams needed to scale breakthrough technologies. With insights from entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem leaders, we’ll unpack the strategies that turn early-stage ventures into high-impact businesses capable of driving both growth and climate action.
We’ll also look at the role of collaboration between universities, corporates, and start-ups in building robust pipelines of climate-conscious talent, and how investors can support founders not just with funding but with networks, mentorship, and operational expertise. Join us to discover how the right combination of talent, teams, and technology can power the next generation of climate innovation and position the UK as a global leader in sustainable growth.
