SAVE THE DATE FOR NEXT YEAR’S FESTIVAL: SEPTEMBER 19 2025!

Brought to you by the VOYAGERS Climate-Tech community, THE HEAT 2024 was a hands-on, practical, mind-expanding, friendship-building, exploratory, curiosity-led, science-based, creative, artistic, participatory, decentralised, experimental, edgy, live, risky, urgent and unpredictable gathering of 600 talented people working on climate technologies.

THE HEAT is not a conference. Don’t expect dull panels or crappy coffee. Climate change is too urgent a problem to waste time. Instead, we designed it to help participants make new friends, to experience science in action, to learn and share their knowledge, to inspire and be inspired. Bring your most engaged and curious festival mindset. At THE HEAT 2024, festival-goers met nuclear-fusion startups, tasted future foods, witnessed carbon capture, experienced climate-robotics demonstrations… and enjoyed a climate-film festival, music performances and a startup pitch contest.

If you’re working in climate-tech, save the date to be part of the celebrations when we return on September 19 2025.

As well as speakers, THE HEAT 2024 featured a rich day of activities, including inspiring stories, expert workshops, product demonstrations, future-food tastings, musical performances, art installations, a participant-led “unconference”, tours of the Harwell Science Campus, a startup pitch competition, speed networking, an evening party — the hottest event on campus… and much more!
