Green Finance UK is a nationally focused conference series delivered by The Sustainability Community, designed to connect capital with credible, investment-ready opportunities across the UK’s transition economy.

As the UK accelerates towards net zero, finance has a critical role to play — not just in setting ambition, but in unlocking delivery. Green Finance UK brings together investors, businesses, policymakers, and regional leaders to explore how capital can be mobilised at scale to support clean energy, future-ready infrastructure, and advanced manufacturing.

This is where finance meets delivery — and where investment helps shape the economy of tomorrow.

A Place-Based Approach to Investment

Green Finance UK puts regions at the heart of the investment conversation.

With the majority of new green jobs and opportunities emerging outside London, the conference focuses on how devolution, combined authorities, and regional strategies can unlock capital and attract inward investment.

By bringing together local, regional, and national leaders, Green Finance UK helps build a clearer national picture of where capital is needed — and where it can deliver the greatest economic, social, and environmental return.

Three Zones. One Goal: A Net Zero Nation

The Green Finance Conference 2026 is structured around three powerful content streams:

Clean Energy Stage: Exploring how capital can accelerate the energy transition — from renewables and hydrogen to grids, retrofit, and energy efficiency. This stage brings together investors, energy companies, policymakers, and innovators to examine scalable investment models and market-ready opportunities powering net zero.

Future Cities & Transport Stage: Focused on sustainable urban development and low-carbon mobility, this stage explores how investment can unlock the infrastructure our cities need to thrive — from transport systems and housing retrofit to smart cities and resilient public spaces.

Advanced Manufacturing Stage: Dedicated to the transformation of industry, this stage spotlights advanced manufacturing, industrial decarbonisation, circular economy models, and clean technologies. It’s where investors meet the businesses modernising UK supply chains and driving competitive, low-carbon growth.
