Join us for the California-Sweden Clean Tech Innovations event during SF Climate Week — a key gathering for advancing transatlantic collaboration.

​Experts and leaders from Sweden, California, and across the U.S. will come together for in-depth discussions on critical topics such as increasing energy demand, decentralized energy grids, new infrastructure, renewable energy, and data-driven sustainable solutions.

​This event offers a collaborative platform to explore and foster Sweden-California partnerships. Through presentations, panel discussions, networking, and insights from industry leaders, we will work together to identify scalable, sustainable solutions to meet the world’s rising energy needs. We will also highlight Swedish innovations in sustainability and explore future opportunities for enhancing Swedish-American collaborations/cooperations in this field/area.

​To leverage Silicon Valley insights and accelerate California–Sweden collaboration, we are creating a forum for connection — we hope you will join us.
