Tech Zero Forum

1pm – 5pm 16 September 2024 Central London The Conduit, 6 Langley St, London WC2H 9JA

With the expanding market for green technology, rising investments, and evolving regulations, now is the time for the tech industry to unite to rapidly achieve global net-zero goals.

Join us at the Tech Zero Forum, where top sustainability leaders will convene to address the pressing need for the tech sector to decarbonise. The recent shift in government underscores a renewed commitment to climate action, making this the ideal time to re-engage the Tech Zero community and amplify the urgency of our efforts.

Following on from the re-launch earlier this year, The Tech Zero Forum will serve as the first gathering of Tech Zero members since the new backing from Octopus Energy and Tech Nation.

We'll be delving into the critical intersections of technology and environmental sustainability to:

Explore Tech’s Environmental Impact: Understand how the tech industry compares to other sectors in terms of environmental impact, examine the progress made towards achieving net-zero emissions, and discuss further actionable steps.
Highlight Big Tech Challenges and Collaboration: Address the significant challenges faced by major tech companies, showcase their initiatives, and encourage collaboration with innovative startups to drive collective progress.
Showcase Game-changing Net Zero Solutions: Present compelling success stories from founders within our membership base, demonstrating practical and impactful approaches to sustainability in the tech industry.
