CARE MENA 2025 Drives Climate Innovation Forward
CARE MENA 2025 brought together policymakers, investors, and innovators to advance sustainability and influence climate strategy across the region. The Forum focused on accelerating climate innovation, supporting regional policy, and defining the ESG agenda for the Middle East. It opened with a clear message on the urgency of coordinated climate action and measurable impact.
Experts from the UAE, KSA, Lebanon, Kuwait, and other nations explored high-level themes including ESG leadership, climate innovation, sustainable finance, and industry transformation. Delegates participated in panels, fireside dialogues, and roundtables designed to convert ideas into practical implementation and long-term regional initiatives.
Innovation, Impact, and ClimateTech Momentum
Innovation remained central to the Forum, and sessions highlighted solutions that advance sustainability and climate resilience. At CARE Launchpad, leaders shared research, white papers, and breakthrough announcements highlighting climate-focused technologies with real-world applications.
Student projects showcased next-generation solutions with strong potential to drive measurable climate outcomes. The ClimateTech World Cup placed five start-ups in competition, attracting investor attention and mentorship opportunities, and selected Circa Biotech for its waste management technology.
