Climate Tech

Climate tech covers the technologies, companies, and business models that aim to cut greenhouse gas emissions, remove carbon from the atmosphere, and help communities adapt to a warming world. It spans clean power generation and storage, grid modernization, electrified transport, low-carbon industry, sustainable agriculture and food systems, carbon capture, climate-focused biotechnology, and tools for measuring and managing climate risk.

Why it matters now

The sector is at an inflection point. Investor appetite has cooled, with fundraising for dedicated climate venture funds slipping to levels not seen in about a decade, and capital is flowing toward a narrower set of bets.

At the same time, the rapid build-out of AI infrastructure is reshaping where money goes. Energy-hungry data centers are driving demand for new power sources, efficiency gains, and grid upgrades.

Meanwhile, emerging markets across Asia and Africa are building their own climate innovation ecosystems, supported by government challenges, incubators, and regional investors. Even so, funding often remains concentrated among a small number of countries and companies.

What you'll find here

This hub tracks the forces shaping climate innovation worldwide, including:

• Funding and investment trends: venture rounds, fund launches, and shifts in where capital is concentrating
• The AI–energy connection: how data center growth is influencing clean energy demand and deployment
• Startups and pilots: early-stage ventures, accelerator cohorts, and government-backed demonstration projects
• Regional ecosystems: developments in India, Southeast Asia, Africa, and beyond
• Policy and markets: regulations, incentives, and market signals that determine which technologies scale

This is where investors, founders, policymakers, and anyone following the energy transition can keep up with how climate technology is evolving and who is paying for it.
