Climate Round Up: Innovation Showcase 2025

​We’re back with the 2025 edition of the "best climate tech event of SXSW." Join us to meet the visionary founders and investors shaping our planet’s future and learn about what’s next in climate tech.

​Last year’s showcase brought together 200+ startup, investment, non-profit and enterprise leaders and was celebrated as a favorite SXSW event. We look to build on that success with high-quality programming and a welcoming community.

​We'll have some mexican food from De Nada Cantina next door, some alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, snacks, get hands on with some of the latest local innovations, and of course good vibes.

​Getting to Palm Ventures from the Convention Center area is pretty easy via bus or even scooter. It's a 20 minute direct ride on CapMetro route #2 - 7 stops down Cesar Chavez. Buses run ever 15 minutes.

​There is some parking, but we anticipate it will fill up fast.
