About this event
Atlas Climate Tech dinner #13 - GenT edition is a focused evening for people who care about building, backing, or supporting climate solutions and want better conversations than the usual networking circuit. If you do your best thinking over a shared meal, and you value meeting people who are serious, curious, and practical about climate tech, this dinner is designed for you. About the Event This is the thirteenth Atlas Climate Tech dinner, with this edition centered on GenT and the people, ideas, and relationships forming around climate, technology, and community in Thailand. It is an in-person dinner gathering built to create thoughtful exchange in a setting that feels more human than a panel and more structured than a casual meetup. The format is simple on purpose: bring together a strong mix of founders, operators, investors, researchers, ecosystem builders, and climate-minded professionals around one table or a small set of tables, then let real conversation do the work. The goal is not volume. It is quality: stronger connections, sharper thinking, and more useful follow-up after the night ends. Because it is part of an ongoing dinner series, there is also continuity built in. People are not just showing up to collect business cards; they are participating in a growing community of climate tech people who want to stay in touch, compare notes, and help each other move work forward. What to Expect Expect an evening that feels intentional from the start. Guests arrive, settle in, and quickly get into conversation rather than waiting through a long formal program. The dinner setting makes it easier to move beyond surface-level introductions and into the kinds of discussions that usually require time and trust. You can expect a mix of: Warm introductions among people working across climate, technology, and adjacent sectors Small-group conversations that make it easier to speak candidly and ask better questions Cross-disciplinary perspectives from people approaching climate challenges from different angles Shared meal and informal networking that keeps the energy relaxed but purposeful The value of a dinner like this is that the agenda is not overloaded. Instead of trying to fit too much into one evening, the format leaves room for the conversations that matter most: what people are building, what is not working yet, where the gaps are in the ecosystem, and what kinds of collaboration could actually be useful. You should also expect a room where context matters. Climate tech spans a wide range of themes, from energy and mobility to supply chains, food systems, carbon, finance, and enabling software. That breadth often leads to better discussion, because people are able to connect problems and solutions across sectors instead of staying inside one narrow lane. Why Attend If you care about climate tech, the biggest value is access to a more concentrated kind of conversation. Dinners create a different dynamic than conferences or large mixers: people listen more closely, explain their work more honestly, and leave with a clearer sense of who they want to keep talking to. This event is especially useful if you are looking for: Relevant peers who understand the realities of building in climate New collaborators across product, capital, policy, science, operations, or community Practical insight into what people in the ecosystem are seeing on the ground A stronger local and regional network in Thailand and the broader climate tech community You do not need to arrive with a polished pitch or a fixed agenda. In fact, some of the best outcomes from dinners like this come from showing up with a real question, a challenge you are working through, or an open mind about where collaboration might come from. For people who are already active in the space, this is a chance to deepen existing relationships and meet others operating with similar urgency. For people newer to the climate tech world, it is a smart way to get oriented quickly by hearing how others think, what they are building, and where they see momentum. Practical Details This is an in-person event in Thailand on Tuesday, January 10 at 7:00 PM GMT+7. The dinner format means you should plan for a conversational evening rather than a quick drop-in. Arriving on time will help you settle in, meet people early, and get the most out of the shared flow of the night. Because this is a dinner gathering, the atmosphere will likely be more intimate and discussion-led than a typical open networking event. That makes preparation simple: come ready to introduce yourself clearly, talk about what you are working on or interested in, and ask thoughtful questions of others. A few useful ways to prepare: Be ready with a concise description of your work or interest in climate tech Think of one or two topics you would genuinely like input on Leave space for curiosity; the most valuable connection may come from an unexpected angle Plan to stay engaged through the meal rather than treating it as a quick stop If you have been looking for a climate gathering that is serious without being stiff, social without being superficial, and local while still connected to bigger ideas, Atlas Climate Tech dinner #13 - GenT edition is a strong room to be in.
