From Grants to Growth: Rethinking How Climate Innovation Gets Funded - DELHI2026

​Why this event exists ​Climate innovation faces a persistent gap: ​Grants help ideas start — but rarely help them scale. ​At the same time, new funding mechanisms emerging from Web3 — milestone-based funding, retroactive rewards, transparent capital flows — remain underutilized or poorly integrated into climate ecosystems. ​This event creates a focused space to rethink how climate AI and Web3 projects move from early funding to sustainable growth. ​Who should attend ​This gathering is designed for people shaping funding systems, including: ​• Climate tech and AI builders ​• Web3-native climate projects ​• Grant managers and philanthropic organizations ​• Impact investors and blended-finance practitioners ​• DAO contributors and ecosystem architects ​• Policy and accountability professionals ​What to expect (teaser) ​Participants can expect structured conversations around: ​• Designing funding pathways beyond one-off grants ​• Aligning capital with execution, learning, and impact ​• Accountability without slowing innovation ​• Bridging traditional climate finance and emerging Web3 models ​This is not a pitch event. It’s a system-design conversation about how climate innovation actually survives.
