New Climate Futures 2026
Climate technology does not become infrastructure because the prototype is impressive. It becomes infrastructure when manufacturers, customers, investors, policymakers, and operators can see how it survives the real world together. That handoff is where many promising technologies either find a path to scale or stall between demonstration and adoption.
New Climate Futures brings that handoff into one building. Newlab will convene more than 1,000 entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and industry leaders at its Brooklyn Navy Yard headquarters during New York Climate Week, with operating technology on the floor and commercialization at the center of the conversation.
What the event is built around
- Showcases and demonstrations from more than 70 critical-technology startups
- Conversations with industry leaders navigating climate, capital, and adoption pressure
- Cross-sector networking among founders, investors, corporate leaders, policymakers, and manufacturers
- Commercial pathways across energy, mobility, advanced materials, industry, and the built environment
- Newlab's physical platform for testing and scaling technologies beyond the lab
Who should have it on the radar
New Climate Futures should be on the radar for climate-tech founders, infrastructure and industrial operators, corporate innovation teams, investors, government and policy leaders, manufacturers, and customers looking for technologies that can move from pilot to deployment.
What to watch
The demonstrations will get the photographs. The more valuable signal is who has a credible answer to the next question. Who will buy it? Where will it be manufactured? Which regulation helps or slows the deployment? What kind of capital can finance the gap between technical proof and repeatable commercial delivery?
Newlab has announced the event structure and scale. A complete 2026 speaker lineup was not listed on the official page at the time of publication, so readers should use the organizer's page for program updates.
