Climate Week Zurich Launch

Wednesday 21 January 2026 16:00-17:30 CET

BISTRO

This private launch cocktail brings together leaders from business, finance, policy, civil society, and innovation who share a common conviction: ambition alone is no longer enough — execution now matters most.

Climate Week Zurich is building a pan-European platform designed to turn climate intent into measurable outcomes. This includes enabling new partnerships, fostering innovation, and driving concrete impact beyond the event itself, with a focus on forging meaningful connections and creating the conditions for action at scale.

This high-energy, purpose-driven convening brings together leaders and their organisations committed to shaping Climate Week Zurich as an outcome-oriented platform, grounded in collaboration, credibility, and shared responsibility. Aligned in their belief that meaningful conversations must lead to tangible next steps, Climate Week Zurich and InTent have designed this session as a catalyst — sparking connections, aligning committed actors, and building momentum to deliver Climate Week Zurich with impact.
