AN INVITATION-ONLY ARENA WHERE CAPITAL AND CLIMATE AMBITION COLLIDE.
The global energy transition demands more than ambition — it demands the right capital, at the right scale, in the right hands.

It’s high-signal, pre-arranged 1-on-1 meetings between the 50 most investable climate tech startups and the 50 most active growth investors in the space followed by an intimate dinner.

CURATED MEETINGS ONLY
BUILT FOR FOUNDERS RAISING. BUILT FOR FUNDS DEPLOYING.
Growth Meets Capital brings together two groups united by the energy transition — and separated only by which side of the table they sit on.
For Growth Startups
You’re a growth-stage climate tech or energy innovation company actively seeking investment to scale. You have traction. You need capital, connections, and the right room.
You are:
- Raising a growth or Series A/B/C round
- Operating in clean energy, climate tech, or energy transition
- Looking for strategic investors who understand your market
- Ready to move fast with the right partner
Your seat at the table comes with everything you need to close deals.
Curated 1-on-1 Meetings
Pre-arranged meetings with the leading 50 growth funds actively looking to deploy capital in climate and energy innovation. Every meeting is matched, not random.
Access to Top-Tier Capital

Elite Peer Network
Be in the room with the 49 other most compelling climate tech founders scaling right now. Build relationships that outlast any single funding round.
Intimate Investor Dinner
Elite Peer Network
Close the day at a Michelin-quality restaurant with investors and founders in a relaxed, high-trust setting. The best deals start over dinner.
WHY GROWTH MEETS CAPITAL?
The energy sector is being rebuilt from the ground up. Distributed energy resources, green hydrogen, battery storage, carbon capture, smart grid infrastructure, energy efficiency software — the capital opportunity is enormous, but the signal-to-noise ratio is low.
Growth Meets Capital cuts through the noise. Hosted by Contrarian Ventures — one of Europe’s most respected climate tech investors — this event is built on the belief that the best investments happen through trusted relationships, not cold decks.
Held alongside the Energy Tech Summit Asia, you are entering the epicentre of Asia’s energy innovation conversation, surrounded by policymakers, industry leaders, and the most forward-thinking founders and investors in the region.
“The energy transition won’t be won by the loudest pitch. It will be won by the right partnership, at the right moment.”
