At Dalus Capital, we focus our investments on three specific verticals: Inclusion (fintech, healthtech, and edtech), Business Productivity (AI and SaaS), and Climate Innovation. While capital is a fundamental part of the equation for all three, we realized early on that climate innovation needed something extra—a dedicated space to build a community from the ground up. That is why we created the Latam Climate Innovation Summit in 2022. We wanted to provide a central meeting point for an ecosystem that was finally ready to take off.

Since that first edition, the growth of the Latin American climate scene has been undeniable. Our second edition in 2024 was a major milestone, bringing together over 220 attendees and 70 startups from 12 different countries. Today, the momentum is even stronger. We aren’t just seeing “more” activity; we’re seeing a more professional and active ecosystem. There are more founders leaving established roles to build climate-tech companies, and there’s a much more active pool of investors—both local and international—ready to back them.

The region has moved past the stage of just talking about potential. We are now in a phase of real execution. The quality of the startups is higher, the business models are more robust, and investor interest is becoming more institutional. The “climate curious” phase is over; the “builder” phase is in full swing.

On May 26th, we are bringing this growing community back together in Mexico City for the third edition of the Summit. Our goal is to keep fueling this growth by connecting the founders, investors, and corporate leaders who are actually doing the work.

Whether you are building the technology, funding it, or looking to implement it within your organization, there are two ways to get involved:

1. For Startups: Pitch Your Solution If you’re a founder working on renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, climate fintech, or decarbonization, we want to see what you’re building. This is a chance to get your solution in front of the region’s most active investors and potential partners.

The scale of the climate challenge is massive, but the rapid growth of this ecosystem gives me plenty of reasons to be optimistic. I look forward to seeing the progress we’ve made together when we meet in CDMX this May. 🚀🌱
