Reset Connect 2026: the flagship event of London Climate Action Week

Reset Connect London will return to Excel London, bringing together the people, capital and ideas driving the green transition. As the flagship event of London Climate Action Week, Reset Connect London is expected to welcome more than 7,500 attendees, over 400 speakers and 300-plus solution providers across two packed days of conference content, networking and live investment activity.

Now firmly established as one of the UK’s leading sustainability and green investment gatherings, Reset Connect London exists to do one thing: connect ambition with action. The 2026 edition pairs a high-calibre conference programme with a buzzing exhibition floor, a dedicated investment stage and structured one-to-one meetings – giving businesses, investors, policymakers and innovators a single place to find partners, capital and practical answers.

What to expect

Reset Connect London spans five themed conference stages plus a dedicated Pitch & Invest Stage, alongside eight show-floor hubs and a packed exhibition. The five main stages are:

• Net Zero Business: corporate decarbonisation, credible climate strategy and sustainable growth
• Cities & Infrastructure: resilient places, retrofit, transport and the built environment
• Energy & Tech: clean power, grids, AI, and the technologies scaling the transition
• Finance & Investment: climate finance, impact investing and the capital powering change
• Nature-Based Solutions: biodiversity, natural capital, food systems, and regeneration

The eight show-floor hubs, covering Tech & AI, Energy & Storage, Business & Supply Chain, Nature & Food Systems, Wealth & Investment Management, Fund & Asset Management, Cities, and People & Careers – host fast-paced sessions and live demos right on the exhibition floor, while a VIP Connections Lounge matches buyers and sellers for pre-qualified one-to-one meetings.
