TECHARENA

Yesterday, Techarena Zero gathered leaders, founders, investors, corporates, and policymakers in Kista for a focused day on sustainability, climate, innovation, and business. The room buzzed with energy, networking, and honest conversations. From the state of the transition to zero, to the AI-energy nexus, circularity, climate tech at scale and global leadership, the agenda reflected both the urgency and the opportunities ahead. As Techarena’s CEO and Founder, Omid Ekhlasi, said, if we want these kinds of platforms to exist in the future, it is not enough to show up. The community needs to help carry them forward. Alexandra Palt powerfully reminded us that the story of sustainability needs to be brought closer to people, business, and everyday decisions. “History is going to be written by nature.” A big thank you to our partners for your continued support, and to everyone who joined us, contributed to the conversations and helped make Techarena Zero 2026 such an important day. See you next time!
