WE’LL BE BACK IN 2025!

Brought to you by the VOYAGERS Climate-Tech community, THE HEAT 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 was 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. 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, secure your festival ticket to be part of the celebrations when we return in 2025.

As well as speakers, THE HEAT 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!
