Scaling Planetary Solutions

How can energy innovation respond responsibly to complex, interconnected global challenges? This event invites participants to explore how humans, technologies, and ecosystems can act together to address shared planetary challenges.

During the evening, Swiss and Japanese startups will present selected energy solutions, reflecting how their work engages with diverse stakeholders, ecological systems, and future generations. The event will explore how collaboration and reflection can foster responsible innovation and planetary stewardship.

The program will conclude with a networking reception, offering an opportunity to connect with experts, investors, and peers.

This event is part of the Planetary Embassy in Japan and showcases the role of innovation, dialogue, and cross-disciplinary perspectives in shaping solutions that balance human and planetary wellbeing.
