We’re pleased to announce that the Earth Capital Summit 2026 will take place on Monday 5 October 2026 in London. The event will bring together leading voices in impact, innovation and investment for an afternoon of focused discussions, followed by evening networking drinks.
Under this year’s theme, “Scaling What Matters: Investment, Innovation and Impact”, the summit will convene investors, founders, policymakers and industry leaders to explore the ideas and solutions shaping the future of climate, finance and technology.
The programme will focus on how we can accelerate the deployment of capital, unlock scalable innovation and drive meaningful, measurable impact across the transition to a net-zero, nature-positive economy. Expect candid discussion, practical insight and valuable opportunities to connect with others working across the ecosystem.
Whether you are building, backing or enabling climate solutions, the Earth Capital Summit provides a platform to engage directly with the people and ideas driving change.
The agenda and speaker line-up will be announced shortly, with further details to follow in the coming weeks.
