Scaling Climate Tech in Southeast Asia’s Green Economy is a special event organised by Investment New South Wales and powered by Padang & Co, as part of the Cleantech to Malaysia and Singapore Program.

The Program supports early-stage and new-to-market NSW cleantech companies as they expand into Southeast Asia, offering tailored export support, market insights, and connections to potential business opportunities in Singapore and Malaysia.

This curated session brings together startups, corporates, investors, and ecosystem enablers to explore the region’s evolving green economy, and Singapore’s growing leadership within it.

Expect sharp insights into regional market opportunities, real-world decarbonisation models, and the power of startup-corporate partnerships in scaling impact. This is also a unique opportunity to connect across the cleantech value chain and see how NSW innovation is contributing to Southeast Asia’s low-carbon transition.
