Blue Earth Summit is back for 2025 with an even bigger mission to transform the way the world works and support the changemakers driving positive planet transformation.

Across private, public and the third sector, the Summit focuses on the value of nature, the power of innovation, the spirit of adventure and the impact of strong leadership from early stage to global business.

With headline tracks including nature, oceans, food & agriculture, energy, fashion, finance, sport & green leadership skills, new event features this year include:

Startup Land - a vibrant marketplace for 200+ sustainable innovators to showcase new ideas and solutions, meet customers, investors & partners.
Scale-Up Zone - for organisations delivering impact at scale. Fostering connections between industry leaders, financial institutions, government and the media.
Festival for the Future - The courtyard is the place to be for open fire cooking, festival style bars, music and mixing with delegates in a more relaxed setting.
BE Ventures - designed to help sustainable startups grow further, faster.
BE100 pitch competition goes global. BE100 takes centre stage with a mission to surpass £155 million investment secured for previous startups and scaleups.
Launch Pad Stages - where fearless founders grab the mic to rapid pitch their solutions at the centre of the Summit’s high traffic zones.

Where fortune favours the brave, 300 speakers across multiple Blue Earth Summit stages include national hero, ‘The Hardest Geezer’ Russ Cook, champion food campaigner Henry Dimbleby, Octopus energy leader, Greg Jackson and global brand spokespersons for diverse organisations from the National Trust to Puma and the Monaco Foundation.

As an illustration of the Blue Earth manifesto to reconnect, inspire and act, BE100 returns for 2025, giving 1000 planet positive startups the opportunity to pitch to hundreds of investors, with access to £10 billion investment capital to fast forward their solutions. Nearly £30 million has been raised collectively by past BE100 winners including Finistere, Waterhaul, WaterBear and Magical Mushroom.

FORUM - a 2 day event at London Climate Action Week in June 2025 connecting over 200 impact investors with 40 of the most exciting and scalable climate positive innovators, as well as expert speakers.

In the words of Deborah Meaden “Climate change is one of the biggest opportunities of our time. We need purpose-led business to drive innovation & invest in long term solutions”
