Tech Nation, the UK’s leading growth platform for tech scaleups, has announced 32 climate tech companies who have been accepted into Net Zero 2.0 - the second iteration of the Net Zero programme.

Net Zero 2.0 is the first government-backed programme designed to support the most promising climate tech companies to accelerate the UK’s path to net zero. This year’s successful companies were assessed by 40 judges across key industries. These included climate specialists, investors and senior representatives from companies such as Google, National Grid, Sky Ocean, Bulb and B Corp, including Hayden Wood, CEO and Founder at Bulb, Azeem Azhar, Founder of the Exponential View, and Pippa Gawley, Founder & Director of Zero Carbon Capital. 

Companies were judged based on their scalability and potential to help the UK reach its high-priority net zero goal. The chosen companies are actively decarbonising key sectors across energy and electricity, transport, buildings and cities, and agriculture. Carbon removals and space-tech are two emerging focus areas this year in the race to zero.
