Decarb TechInvest brings together founders of breakthrough industrial hardware technologies with the investors and strategics who fund and scale them.
At a time when energy systems and industrial value chains are redefining how they deliver performance, reliability, and economics, this event showcases technologies ready for commercial deployment and growth.
You’ll connect with venture capital, private equity, family offices, corporates and project developers focused on commercial transformation, bankable business models, and scalable project value.
If your focus is on sourcing high-quality deal flow, understanding the offtaker needs in energy and industrial hardtech and you want to engage with teams & investors that are focused beyond proof of concept, this is your network.
We curate sector-relevant conversations and 1-on-1 introductions that shorten diligence cycles and accelerate confidence in investment decisions. Whether you’re evaluating next-generation electrification hardware, capture or reuse solutions or 24-7 energy, you’ll gain insight into what investors are underwriting today and what tech will define commercial offtake agreements tomorrow.
