Announcing Techarena Zero 2026 in Kista – Bringing Business and Sustainability Together

Techarena announces its high-level event, Techarena Zero 2026, taking place on May 28, 2026, in Kista, Stockholm.

Building on previous editions, including a strong 2025 edition that brought together over 250 attendees from more than 40 countries, Techarena Zero gathers founders, executives, investors, and policymakers to explore how sustainability is driving growth in innovative (or forward-leaning) businesses.

The Nordics continue to play a key role in climate and sustainability, and the 2026 edition will focus on areas where change is already happening, including:

• The State of the Transition to Zero 
• The AI–energy nexus: Can the system keep up?
• Circularity as the new competitive edge
• Climate tech at scale: Who wins the industrial shift?

“The Most Important Event”

“Techarena Zero is our most important event of the year, where sustainability and our planet take centre stage. Our focus is to create conversations that lead to real collaboration and action, in helping to build the next generation of competitive companies. This year, we are bringing the event to Kista, where technology, research, and companies meet in one place,” says Omid Ekhlasi, Founder and CEO of Techarena.

“Hosting Zero in Kista makes perfect sense. It is a key area for commercialisation, with numerous examples of high-impact innovations. The district’s transformation from a dedicated office area into a mixed-use urban district is also driven by deliberate, sustainable choices in how the built environment is shaped,” says Elin Hammarberg, Head of Marketing at Kista Limitless. “We look forward to hosting the international Zero community as they come together to explore new partnerships and accelerate sustainable innovation.”

The event will continue to prioritise curated networking sessions and roundtables, with the ambition to support ideas, partnerships, and solutions that can scale.

More details on speakers and programme will be announced soon.
