Workshop Salon: Thematic Trends & Challenges

Salon 8: The Heat is On: Scaling Climate Tech Across the Asian Century
As the global race towards Net Zero intensifies, the spotlight has shifted to Asia Pacific—a region that is simultaneously the world's primary growth engine and its most climate-vulnerable territory. This 75-minute salon explores the "Asian Greenhouse" as a fertile ground for radical innovation. Whilst India has emerged as a powerhouse hub—leveraging its deep engineering talent, robust technology stacks, and rapid deployment capabilities to lead in EV infrastructure, circular economy solutions, and decentralised energy—the narrative is far broader than any single border.

From the grid-scale challenges of Southeast Asia’s archipelagos to the decarbonization of China’s industrial giants and Hong Kong's role as a green finance linchpin, we ask: How can India’s scalable blueprints be exported to its neighbours? What regional synergies in policy and capital are required to move from pilot to planetary impact? Join us for a candid discussion on how Asia’s climate tech pioneers are not just reacting to a crisis, but architecting the next industrial revolution.
