The Science Summit 2026 takes place from 8–30 September 2026, with in-person convenings in New York from 21–25 September and in Nairobi from 28–30 September.
Building on the momentum of the 2025 Summit, which highlighted the urgency of operating within the planetary boundaries — the environmental thresholds that define the safe space for humanity — the 2026 Summit shifts the focus from understanding these limits to defining the pathways forward.
The Summit explores how science, technology, and innovation can drive regeneration by restoring ecosystems, rebuilding equity, and renewing trust in the scientific enterprise. It examines the transition from boundaries to breakthroughs, where knowledge becomes a catalyst for global transformation.
Bringing together leaders from science, policy, finance, civil society, and industry, the Science Summit 2026 identifies the mechanisms needed to scale innovation, mobilize capital, and govern technologies responsibly in support of a regenerative and inclusive global economy.
