Transforming systems for a low carbon economy
29th & 30th April 2025 | Olympia London
The Innovation Zero conference ran across 14 dedicated Forums, with each covering areas of interest including scaling clean technology, policy, investment, circularity, decarbonisation, infrastructure, and supply chain. Hover over the images below to find out more about each forum.
Featuring globally-recognised thought leaders, Innovation Zero will highlight not only the key challenges our planet faces, but holistic, collaborative ways in which we can rise to the occasion and overcome the climate crisis.
Sustainability stars will demonstrate world-changing financial, scientific, legislative and social solutions.

Hard-to-abate sectors like steel and cement can decarbonise through energy efficiency measures, reducing operational emissions and the employment of a circular economy.
Innovations in CCUS and supply chain decarbonisation will feature amidst discussions on how we reduce the carbon
inputs and outputs of the industrial sector.
The UK has the oldest building stock in Europe, and radical changes are required to reduce the levels of embodied and operational carbon permeating the industry.
Conversations around energy efficiency and retrofitting will feature as we engage with leading housebuilders, mortgage lenders, local authorities and associations.

The world ocean encompasses over 70% of the surface area of the planet and 99% of its living space. It is the largest carbon sink on earth and could deliver a fifth of the emissions cuts needed to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C. But our oceans are boiling.
Discover the ways in which we can protect and restore our seas, while harnessing the huge investment opportunities available in the Blue Economy.

Decarbonisation in upstream supply chain is an essential component when considering the overall reduction of GHG emissions and organisations’ adherence to Scope 3 reduction commitments.
Conversations around the mining of metals and minerals, and how we decarbonise these operations, will number amongst several thought-provoking discussions.

Transport accounts for over 20% of global emissions, and a complex mobility ecosystem presents a roadblock to zero.
Innovations in fleet decarbonisation, car electrification, traffic management, and alternative fuels will be discussed by leaders across transport who are reshaping the way we navigate urban environments.
As nature capital blooms an area of interest, learn how the agriculture industry is transforming in turn through regenerative practices and nature based solutions.
Discover also how the food industry is improving circularity, as well as new technologies in biomimicry and alternative proteins.
Offsetting is essential to tackle climate change, with the VCM expected to reach around $250bn by 2050.
Meet investors looking to fund new tech, carbon project developers seeking scale, corporates seeking new credit markets, as we provide comprehensive insights into carbon and natural capital markets.
