INDIA × EUROPE CHENNAI 2027
Building the bridge on which India and Europe carry the carbon economy forward together.
25–27 February 2027The Hilton, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India
Chennai · 25–27 February 2027
The Indo Euro Carbon Economy Summit brings India and Europe into one room to turn policy, capital and practice into instruments that work on the ground.
The summit runs under two main categories — Climate, Environment and Carbon; and Industry, Trade, Economy and Carbon.
Both are the two eyes of any economy — economic progress while respecting nature and promoting growth.
Each session begins with published evidence, brings the institutions positioned to act into the room, and ends with a record that can be carried forward—not a generic communiqué.
Connect institutions, practitioners and project developers working across climate policy, measurement, restoration and carbon markets.
