The 2025 Greentown Labs Climatetech Summit brought together hundreds of climate and energy entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, investors, and policymakers to explore the state of innovation at one of the most dynamic moments in climatetech’s evolution.
This year’s theme centered around what speakers described as “Climatetech 3.0”—an era defined by economic feasibility, scalability, and innovation without dependence on green premiums or policy incentives. In other words, the next chapter of climate technology must compete and succeed on the open market; not just as an ethical imperative, but as a smart economic strategy.
As someone who attended the virtual panels in the morning and then joined the startup showcase and networking events in person at Greentown Houston, the day offered an inspiring cross-section of ideas, technologies, and people building a cleaner, more resilient energy future.
