ClimateTech Connect 2027

ClimateTech Connect 2027 is a two-day international conference and exhibition focused on climate risk, adaptation and resilience, taking place from 7 to 8 April 2027 in Washington, D.C., United States. The third edition brings together leaders from insurance, financial services, real estate, utilities, infrastructure, government, academia, and climate technology to examine how technology, data and cross-sector collaboration can strengthen resilience to climate and extreme-weather risks.

Purpose and Objectives

The primary purpose of ClimateTech Connect is to connect climate risk with practical technology and investment solutions. The event focuses on helping businesses, governments and communities better predict, prevent, respond to and recover from climate-related risks, while encouraging collaboration between sectors that influence resilience, including insurance, finance, infrastructure, technology and public policy.

Key Activities

The two-day programme combines masterclasses, keynote presentations, TED-style talks, an exhibition, a startup stage, a pitch competition, networking, and an opening-night cocktail reception. The event brings together technology innovators, investors, risk professionals, public-sector leaders and other stakeholders working on climate adaptation and resilience.

Significance

The event is significant because it focuses on the growing need to translate climate risk information into practical resilience measures. Its cross-sector approach connects technology developers with organisations that manage financial, physical and operational exposure to extreme weather, creating opportunities for solutions to move from innovation towards implementation.

Expected Outcomes

Participants can expect exposure to emerging climate risk technologies, resilience strategies, investment approaches and risk-transfer solutions. The event is designed to support partnerships between technology companies, investors, insurers, businesses, public authorities and infrastructure stakeholders working to strengthen climate resilience.
