Building the flagship climate tech gathering for North Carolina

We’re launching NC Climate Week in Fall 2026

In partnership with Raleigh-Durham Startup Week, we will be hosting multi-day gathering in the Research Triangle bringing together founders, investors, researchers, and operators building the future of climate and sustainability.

North Carolina has all the ingredients: world-class research, deep expertise in manufacturing, biotech, agriculture, textiles, and energy — and a growing base of climate tech startups. What’s been missing is a moment that brings it all together.

NC Climate Week is that moment.

Over several days in Raleigh, we’ll convene the people and organizations shaping climate innovation in this region — to connect, collaborate, and accelerate what’s already underway.

What to expect

  • Founder-led sessions and conversations

  • Investor engagement and capital access

  • Showcases of emerging climate technologies and startups from across the state

  • Cross-sector collaboration across industry, research, and startups

  • Community-building events designed to strengthen the ecosystem

  • The best BBQ of any climate week (we said it)

Start here

We’re kicking things off with Climate Tech Day at Raleigh-Durham Startup Week (April 20, 2026) — the first step toward building NC Climate Week.

Stay in the loop

We’ll be sharing more details soon — including dates, programming, and how to participate.
