Climate Canals brings together founders, investors, and innovators from across the Dutch climate tech ecosystem to discuss how they're tackling climate change. Each event is topic-focused and no two are ever the same.
In September 2026, ClimateHack Amsterdam became Climate Canals. Same team, bigger vision, more events, better connections. Below are the events we've hosted since 2024.
