The risks of climate change are clear. Nations are responding with commitments to net zero emissions and with massive investments into clean energy, decarbonisation technologies and carbon services.

Of all nations Australia faces some of the most extreme climate risks but also the greatest opportunity. NSW has recognised this with its Net Zero Plan to build resilience to climate change and generate economic growth, with new jobs and climate prosperity.

Technology will be critical to achieve net zero and the Impact X Summit on Climate Growth will bring Australia’s most promising and exciting innovators to the stage. The Summit will directly address the decarbonisation and resilience opportunity and connect technology founders and carbon service providers with the investors, buyers and partners they need to scale.

OVERVIEW• Exhibition to showcase decarbonisation

technologies and solutions across five industry sectors – Energy, Transport & Infrastructure, Industry & Manufacturing, Built environment and Agriculture & Land use

• High-level international and national speakers from business, government, investment and NGOs

• Dedicated plenary and breakout sessions presenting pathways to zero emissions for input from participants and recommendations for action

• More than 1000 participants• Technology startups with clean tech,
