Scaling Europe’s Cleantech Champions: Policy, Pilots & Prosperity
Shine a spotlight on the role of public policy, regional pilot zones, and
regulatory innovation in scaling cleantech from lab to large-scale deployment.
Key Themes & Insights:
1. Policy for Scale – Should Europe (and Spain) adopt production-linked
subsidies or state-aid reforms to support first-of-a-kind projects? Brussels is
debating easing stateaid limits—could Valencia be a pilot “regional
exception”?
2. Pilot Region Strategy – Leveraging Valencia as a designated cleantech pilot
zone, offering procurement support and test-beds that de-risk early
deployment.
3. Strategic Autonomy & Resilience – Aligning regional initiatives with EU
Green Deal ambitions, ensuring contributions to Europe’s industrial strength.
The Future of Biologicals: Accelerating Disruption Through Technology & Collaboration
Regenerative agriculture is no longer just a niche trend, it is becoming a central pillar in Europe’s climate and food strategies. Driven by policies such as Farm to Fork and the Biodiversity Strategy, the EU is promoting an agricultural model that acts as a carbon sink, supports biodiversity, and revitalizes rural economies.

Built to Scale: Startups Transforming Construction for a Sustainable Housing Future
Construction is one of the most polluting industries on Earth—and one of the slowest to digitize. At the same time, the world is facing a housing emergency: billions need access to affordable, sustainable homes, and the current system can't deliver fast enough.
This session brings together startups, investors, and tech enablers reinventing construction not just through greener materials, but through data-driven, platform-based, and scalable models.
We'll explore:
-How software, AI, and digital twins are reshaping the construction value chain.
-Why industrialized and platform-based approaches are attracting climate capital.
-What it takes to scale housing solutions that are both sustainable and financially viable.
-The role of regulation, procurement and public-private collaboration in accelerating adoption.
-If the climate crisis is urgent, the housing crisis is personal.
