Join us for an exciting event where ClimateTech & AI collide to create opportunities for global entrepreneurs & investors!
Our event brings together startup founders from around the world & leading VCs to explore how climate-safe AI infrastructure can scale into one of the decade's most impactful opportunities.
We'll unpack this from multiple angles:
When AI Meets the Grid: Who Wins & Who Pays the Price?
How the explosive energy demand of AI will reshape power markets-creating new winners while exposing hidden operational & financial risks.
Resilient by Design: Integrating Pricing Volatility into Your Strategy
Lessons from Europe's 2022 energy crisis & how to prepare for AI-era power price spikes.
Blackouts & Bottlenecks: The Infrastructure Gaps Holding AI Back
Transmission constraints, permitting delays, & fuel supply challenges that could choke growth-and where cross-border partnerships can unlock solutions.
Positioning Your ClimateTech Startup as Essential AI Infrastructure
How to frame your product as mission-critical to both energy resilience & AI adoption-and what VCs are really looking for in ClimateTech-AI deals.
CASE STUDIES: Building for Both AI & Climate
Real-world insights from teams navigating the intersection of climate innovation & AI infrastructure.

Saman Armal, a climate & data scientist specializing in extreme weather & infrastructure resilience, brings expertise in ensuring that large-scale investments incorporate environmental risk assessments & long-term sustainability.
Diana Virgovicova, founder & CEO, XAtoms
Toronto-based Xatoms uses AI & quantum chemistry to advance water purification. CEO Diana Virgovicova discovered a molecule capable of cleansing water at just 17 & now holds 8 patents for a reusable powder that can be applied to filters. Raised in a small Slovak village, she found her mission at 14 while backpacking through India with her mother, where polluted rivers inspired her to dedicate her life to clean water. In June, Xatoms raised $3 million in pre-seed funding to commercialize its technology.
Abhishek Sastri, founder & CEO, FLUIX AI
At 21, Abhishek Sastri invented a novel liquid cooling system used in DoE data centers, & has since spent his career inside DOD & DOE mission critical environments, working with utilities, MEP engineers, & developers to understand the operational bottlenecks slowing down AI infrastructure. Under his leadership, FLUIX is helping data reduce energy waste, accelerate deployments, & enable the next frontier of physical AI.
