Nature Tech Week 2026
A week of connection, collaboration, and action for nature tech Thank you, London & Cambridge
*Highlights and Session Recordings coming soon
What the ecosystem is building toward
Nature Tech Week 2026 brought the full ecosystem into one place: researchers, investors, founders, field practitioners, and policymakers, across five days in London and Cambridge. The conversations that mattered most weren't about any single technology. They were about what the sector needs to build together.
-
Nature tech is building tools on top of nothing. No shared public observation layer exists yet. VC won't fund it. NGOs can't sustain it alone. The community is beginning to map what needs to happen next.
-
AI, dashboards, and pilots are everywhere. The next challenge is making them last: funded maintenance, shared learnings, and systems built to be sustained, not just deployed.
-
The cross-sector energy and willingness to collaborate was real and consistent across both days. The next step is the harder one- shared frameworks that turn that openness into coordinated progress.
May 2026 Agenda
Nature Tech Unconference
Co-hosted by Nature Tech Collective and LSE Generate. Two days at the London School of Economics: 32 community-led sessions across researchers, investors, founders, and policymakers. The programme was built from community, submitted proposals, voted on by the community. The result was two days of work on what the sector actually wants to solve right now.
Nature Action Dialogues
Two days in Cambridge with leaders from business, finance, and conservation. Hosted by UNEP-WCMC, with sessions from the World Economic Forum, CDP, WWF, and the Finance for Biodiversity Foundation. Theme: Countdown to 2030- Aligning Ambition, Scaling Integrated Action.
Satellite Events
A full week of community gatherings across London, organised by and for the nature tech community. Working sessions, social events, and everything in between. Watch for 2027 satellite events.

About the Nature Tech Week
Nature Tech Week is the annual gathering of the global nature tech community. Curated by the Nature Tech Collective, it brings together the people using data, technology, and finance to protect and restore ecosystems, for a week of working sessions, high-level dialogues, and community events that don't happen anywhere else on the calendar.
FAQs
-
Nature tech is the use of technology to protect, restore, and manage natural ecosystems, tools for biodiversity monitoring, carbon and nature measurement, ecosystem restoration, and nature-based solutions. The field spans startups, researchers, investors, and policymakers working to scale solutions for climate and nature loss.
-
Nature Tech Week is a week of events in London and Cambridge, bringing together the people building, funding, researching, and regulating nature tech. It runs across three core events: the Nature Tech Unconference, Nature Action Dialogues, and a full calendar of satellite events plus community gatherings throughout the week.
-
Anyone working at the intersection of technology and nature. That includes nature tech founders and builders, investors, corporate sustainability and nature leads, conservation practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and regulators. If you're trying to understand, fund, build, or scale solutions for biodiversity and climate, this week is for you.
-
Most events in this space are either high-level policy forums or practitioner convenings, rarely both in the same place. Nature Tech Week spans the full stack, from the Nature Action Dialogues where business and finance leaders work on 2030 frameworks, to the Nature Tech Unconference where the community sets its own agenda, to informal satellite events that extend the conversation across the city.
