What on earth is an event, designed to foster connection and spark collaboration across climate tech at DTU – from labs and startups to policy and industry.

The event experience
Join us for a dynamic lunch with leading minds at DTU, where real-world insights and open conversations spark new ideas, connections, and drive change. Whether you're in the field or curious about where you fit in—What on earth is your invitation to engage.
At each event, we explore a key theme through short, grounded talks from invited speakers – always people who are in the middle of building, testing or scaling solutions.
This is not a conference.
There’s no panel.
Just good food, good people, and real stories.
