CC Forum London XIV: Impact Capital & the Energy Transition
Where climate, energy and capital meet.
CC Forum is an international gathering on impact investment and sustainable development, founded in 2018 by Max Studennikoff and held so far in London, Monaco, Zurich, Bahrain and Paris. Its fourteenth edition runs in London from 27 to 30 October 2026, for an audience of family offices, funds, venture capital, angels and founders.

Why this edition matters
Climate and the energy transition sit at the centre of the programme rather than on a side-track. The 2026 agenda is built around where sustainable capital should flow as the world reorders, whether to double down on net-zero investment or reassess the economic case, and how private wealth is preserved and passed on. For anyone tracking how money moves behind the headlines of the energy transition, it is among the most useful rooms in London this autumn.
What is on the agenda
Several sessions are framed as open questions. Two are billed as debates: on Wednesday, whether the world should double down on net-zero investment or reassess the economic case; on Thursday, whether ESG is a force for good or a tool of economic and geopolitical control. Around them sit a climate science panel on how much time is left, a session on the water crisis, three slots on artificial intelligence, and morning sessions on family offices and the passing-on of private wealth. One panel asks whether entertainment and media can shift behaviour in the climate fight.
Founders have their own routes in: five-minute pitching slots in the Investors' Lounge, exhibition space, and a pitching competition on Thursday from 5pm to 5.50pm.
Who is speaking
The published line-up includes Lord Zac Goldsmith of the Bezos Earth Fund, Dr Gunter Pauli, who chairs the forum's advisory board, Professor Michael Mainelli, president of the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Lord Marland of Odstock, and Christopher Marquis of the University of Cambridge. Family offices make up the largest part of the roster. Several slots were still marked as reserved in the agenda at the start of October.
Tickets
At the last-minute rate, which runs until 27 October, a visitor pass (conference and coffee) is £399, a gala pass (green carpet reception and awards dinner) is £1,400, and a VIP pass, which adds the House of Lords reception, the VIP lunch and the Fem Capital Salon, is £2,800. Twenty per cent VAT is added to each. Investors in sustainability may apply to the organisers for a complimentary visitor pass covering the conference. Prices were checked on 30 September 2026.
The Friday room: Fem Capital Salon
The week closes with the Fem Capital Salon, a partner event of CC Forum founded by Christine Koetsier, who also sits on the forum's organising committee. Its London edition on 30 October is an afternoon gathering held under the theme Sharing over Success, built around private wealth, future-fit leadership and stewardship.
The London BGTC Society's view
We follow CC Forum closely as a barometer of capital sentiment, and our sister title Creativitys.UK and BGTC.UK are accredited media partners of the forum. From our own coverage of the previous London edition, the pattern is clear: the conversation has moved from whether to act on climate to who finances it, and at what return. That shift, from ambition to allocation, is what makes CC Forum relevant to our members who sit at the intersection of business, culture and capital.
The energy transition will be financed not by goodwill but by capital deciding clean energy is the better trade – and that is the conversation CC Forum convenes.
