Agenda

From Pilots to Portfolios: Pioneers’ Perspectives on What's Next for CDRs 

May 7, 2026 |  09:30-12:30 | On-site event | Impact Hub Zurich

Tickets are limited! 

Carbon removals are moving beyond the pilot phase. The key question is no longer whether CDR (Carbon Dioxide Removal) works, but how the market transitions from early experimentation to structured, trusted and investable deployment. Bringing together pioneers from across the CDR ecosystem, this session explores what comes next.

 

Key themes of the event include:

  • Lessons learned from early CDR deployment

  • Perspectives from standards, project developers, buyers and investors

  • What it takes to move from pilots to portfolios

  • How trusted, investable carbon removals can scale

  • Insights from the Swiss carbon removals ecosystem

Carbon as an Asset Class: Bridging the Gap to Financial Markets

May 7, 2026 |  14:30-16:00 | On-site event | Impact Hub Zurich

Tickets are limited! 

As carbon removals move toward large-scale implementation, access to finance beyond venture capital becomes a critical enabler. This session explores proven and emerging solutions to key financing barriers and the roles and perspectives of market participants and regulators. It charts an actionable roadmap towards bankable carbon removal projects together with market infrastructure and policy mechanisms that unlock capital at scale.


This session offers practical insights into how companies and investors can engage in and structure scalable carbon removal investments and how early participation may create strategic advantages in an emerging market.
