Innovation Zero The Clean Tech Congress 2024 | Innovation Zero | 29 April 2024 | Olympia Events, Hammersmith Rd, London W14 8UX, UK

Supported by the UK Government, this event provides a meeting place for announcements, partnerships, deal-making, and collaborations for those who develop, produce, deploy, and fund low carbon solutions.

This event's mission? To accelerate meaningful action towards a low carbon economy and society​.

For the transformation to a low carbon economy to happen, we will require contribution from all quarters — it's for this reason that we are striving to build a cross-sectoral community of innovation.

Our event is designed to shatter silos, offering a dynamic platform for leaders and changemakers across diverse industries to unite. Explore ground-breaking approaches and cutting-edge decarbonisation solutions as we collectively pave the way to a sustainable future.

For the 2024 edition, we are running 14 dedicated conference forums, include new streams such as aviation & shipping, advanced tech and carbon markets.

Why attend?
• We are all in this together, but there is a knowledge gap between policy, the innovation required to decarbonise, the finance at every stage, and the corporate and public sector leaders who need to deploy innovative solutions to hit their net zero targets.
• Innovation Zero exists because investors need to find the next unicorn and surface innovators who will put a dent in the climate crisis. Corporate sustainability executives need to bolster committed boardroom support. Innovators need capital. Corporate and public sector supply chain leaders need to decarbonise whole supplier networks. Procurement need competitively costed low carbon suppliers.
