Cleantech Without Borders: Scaling Climate Innovation from Iberia to Europe
The Iberian Peninsula is rapidly emerging as a strategic hub for climate innovation, thanks to its abundant renewable energy potential, leadership in green hydrogen, and strong industrial foundation.
This session will bring together leaders from Cleantech for Iberia and peer coalitions across Europe to explore how southern Europe can drive the next wave of clean technology adoption at a continental scale.
Key Topics to Explore:
-Financing Clean Technologies: Strategies to mobilize capital and support cleantech startups through their growth stages.
-Cross-Border Collaboration:How European coalitions can work together to fast-track the deployment of sustainable technologies.
-Policy & Regulation: The role of governments in creating enabling frameworks for cleantech innovation.
-Success Stories: Highlighting scalable projects and impactful solutions emerging from the Iberian cleantech ecosystem.
Digital Identity & Data Ownership in the Age of AI & Web3
Digital identity has become a critical asset in the data economy, but its definition, control, and exploitation are in dispute. In a world where every online action generates traceability, every profile feeds AI models, and every identity can be falsified or replicated by generative algorithms, the notion of “who I am” in digital environments no longer depends on the individual, but on the technological infrastructures that represent them.
Simultaneously, proposals like decentralized identity (DID), wallets with verifiable credentials, cryptographic signatures, and Web3 architectures are introducing alternative models of authentication, data ownership, and self-managed privacy. But these systems coexist with centralized megaplatforms operating under extractive logic and with legislation that lags behind innovation.
