4 - 6 December 2024 Bharat Mandapam New Delhi, India
Summit Theme: First-of-a-kind (FOAK) as an investment asset class, Nth-of-a-kind (NOAK) as a scaling up model.
As the world grapples with the urgent need to address climate change, innovation in technology and investment has never been more critical. The 2nd Annual Climate Investments and Technology Impact Summit (CITIS) brings together leaders from across sectors to explore how First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) projects can drive climate solutions and how these innovations can be scaled effectively through Nth-of-a-Kind (NOAK) models. This year’s theme, "Climate Innovation: FOAK as an Asset Class, NOAK as the Scaling Model," underscores the importance of pioneering climate technologies as a unique investment category and the strategies necessary for scaling these innovations to create widespread impact.
The summit will feature a series of focused sessions on key sectors, exploring the transition from FOAK to NOAK and the associated economic and financial models that can facilitate this crucial transformation. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with cutting-edge discussions, witness innovative technology pitches, and explore the latest advancements in climate technology at the poster exhibition. Like previous year, 2nd CITIS 2024 will run in parallel to the 9th India Water Impact Summit (IWIS).
