Nobel Sustainability Trust Hong Kong Summit 2026

A World in Balance : From Science to Scale

30 November, 2026, Hong Kong, China

The Nobel Sustainability Trust Hong Kong Summit 2026 will convene international leaders from science, business, finance, technology, government and civil society to advance practical solutions for a more sustainable and prosperous future.

Taking place in Asia for the first time, the Summit will explore how scientific knowledge, technological innovation, responsible investment and visionary leadership can be translated into measurable action and implemented at scale.

Under the theme “A World in Balance: From Science to Scale,” the programme will examine the fundamental conditions upon which long-term human prosperity depends and consider how artificial intelligence, advanced technologies and new economic models can accelerate sustainable development.

From Knowledge to Action

The Summit programme will focus on four interconnected pillars:

Science strengthening our understanding of the environmental and economic systems that support human prosperity.

Innovation advancing artificial intelligence and emerging technologies as tools for scientific discovery and sustainable development.

Implementation transforming promising ideas and proven solutions into practical, scalable action.

Impact developing credible ways to measure, communicate and expand environmental, social and economic value.

Through keynote addresses and high-level discussions, participants will examine the role of leadership, capital and cross-sector collaboration in moving from ambition to implementation. The programme will also highlight the responsibility of universities, businesses and public institutions to equip the next generation with the knowledge and leadership required to address complex global challenges.

Summit and Awards Ceremony

The Summit will be followed by a formal Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony.

The Nobel Sustainability Trust Sustainability Awards and distinctions recognise individuals and organisations whose work demonstrates outstanding achievement in science, innovation, implementation and leadership, and whose contributions have the potential to create lasting and measurable impact.

The evening will bring together distinguished guests, award recipients, institutional partners and international leaders in celebration of progress that can endure across generations.

A Global Platform for Collaboration

The Hong Kong Summit will serve not only as a meeting place, but also as a platform for building long-term partnerships among scientists, policymakers, investors, entrepreneurs, technology leaders and international institutions.

By connecting knowledge with capital, innovation with implementation, and ambition with measurable outcomes, the Nobel Sustainability Trust seeks to help accelerate solutions capable of delivering lasting benefits for society and future generations.
