Summit Objectives

Responding to a need felt amongst senior policy makers, investors, business and academic leaders, this summit aims to step-up collaborations and understanding between these groups in an open-minded and politically neutral international forum. This summit will allow the latest research and ideas to be presented by international experts from the key fields involved in tackling climate change.

'Entrepreneurship for a Zero Carbon Society' is designed to bring together cutting-edge energy research and innovative businesses to move the highly multidisciplinary clean energy innovation community forward on the scale required for a carbon free future. Relevant fields also include environmental tax reform and commercialization of low-carbon technologies. Pioneering technologies will be showcased by industrial participants as well as the latest student research in these areas.

All who are interested in politics, policy making, science, engineering, energy supply and green-technology are welcome. Held in the historic city of Cambridge amongst its impressive ancient and modern buildings, the meeting includes a banquet and plenty of opportunity for relaxed discussion and networking. We look forward to seeing you in September!
