London Climate Action Week ClimateTech start up drinks
4.30pm – 6.30pm25 June 2024
techUK, 10 St Bride St, London, EC4A 4AD
Join us for London Climate Action Week drinks as techUK, Start up Coalition, Cleantech UK, TechNation and Undaunted run a drinks reception for policy makers, founders, start up staff, investors and anyone interested in how start ups can address the climate crisis. The event is a great way to meet with start up founders, engineers and investors and to celebrate the diversity and potential of UK climate tech.
This event is part of London Climate Action Week and the drinks reception will be a great way to hear from the ‘Climate Tech Policy Coalition’ and meet with peers, investors and founders who believe in the positive role of tech.
This event is open to all (but you need to set up a login on the website, should only take a minute) and we hope to see as many of you there as possible.

By 2030, digital technology can cut global emissions by 15%. Cloud computing, 5G, AI and IoT have the potential to support dramatic reductions in carbon emissions in sectors such as transport, agriculture, and manufacturing. techUK is working to foster the right policy framework and leadership so we can all play our part. For more information on how techUK can support you, please visit our Climate Action Hub and click ‘contact us’.
techUK has submitted a response to the HM Treasury and HMRC led consultation on the proposals for the design and administration of the UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
techUK is asking members to get involved with a new focus area on so called 'GreenOps', a topic that has come up more and more recently. This is an open ended ask and we’re keen to get members involved if they have developed ‘green ops’, embedded the green software foundation principles in to practice, or specifically looked at green digital skills.
