Our Press Release

The PDIE (Purpose Driven Innovation Ecosystem) Group known as the No1 Earthshot Prize nominator, and Venionaire Capital, a leading global investment company based in Vienna, Austria, are proud to announce "The Future of Climate Summit VOL II", a prominent event that will bring together distinguished solution providers, family offices, investors, and global leaders to address the pressing challenges of our climate crisis. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change, climate change could be irreversible by 2030. That’s just seven years from today. The time is now to create the change that will affect generations to come.


This event, held in collaboration with the The Earthshot Prize, promises to be a pivotal moment in the journey towards a sustainable future.
 

Scheduled to take place on September 20, 2024, at the prestigious Dentons Law Firm's head office in the convenient location of New York Midtown, The Future of Climate Summit will serve as a dynamic platform for experts, visionaries, and change-makers to share their knowledge, expertise, and innovative solutions. 


With the theme "Positive Futures enabled by AI" and a focus on key topics such as energy transition, the future of sustainable cities, decarbonization, food and agriculture, and natural capital and biodiversity, this event aims to foster meaningful discussions and collaborative efforts in tackling the climate crisis.


Panelists include and keynote speakers include Marjorie Margolies, the founder and chair of Women’s Campaign International (WCI) and former congress woman, Chris Luebkeman (Head, Strategic Foresight Hub, Office of the President, ETH Zurich), Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim, Earthshot Prize Council member, and Dr. Luke Haverhals  (Founder and CEO of NFW) among others. 


The Future of Climate Summit will showcase a diverse range of influential speakers, including cutting-edge solution providers nominated for the Earthshot Prize by the PDIE Group.  These providers, recognized for their exceptional contributions to combat climate change, will have a unique opportunity to present their groundbreaking ideas, connect with potential investors, and moreover have the platform to share ideas and strategies with other like-minded entrepreneurs and thought leaders who are committed to improving the climate outcome for all.  The summit will commence in the morning and a networking lunch will provide attendees with an opportunity to build meaningful connections and foster collaborations. 


Throughout the afternoon, engaging panel discussions and breakout sessions will take place, exploring innovative strategies, emerging technologies, and best practices in various sectors of sustainability. The summit will culminate with a cocktail reception, facilitating community-building and the sharing of collaborative ideas, enabling participants to collectively address the climate crisis and develop actionable plans for a sustainable future.


"We believe that by bringing together outstanding solution providers, investors, and global leaders, we can accelerate the progress towards a sustainable and resilient future," said Christian Schmitz, founder and CEO of PDIE Group, representing the organizing committee of The Future of Climate Summit. "Through engaging discussions, impactful collaborations, and the sharing of visionary ideas, we aim to create a cohesive community of doers who are committed to solving our climate crisis and making a lasting impact."

With limited seats available, The Future of Climate Summit encourages interested individuals and organizations to secure their participation in this landmark event. 


"At the Future of Climate Summit, I have high expectations for groundbreaking innovations that will address our planet's most pressing challenges. This summit will bring together a dynamic mix of innovators, thought leaders, and investors, creating a powerful platform for collaboration and progress. I am confident that the synergies formed here will drive impactful solutions and pave the way for a sustainable future." - said Berthold Baurek-Karlic, CEO and founder of Venionaire Capital
