Leeds is set to host Reset Connect North in 2026, a significant new climate conference aiming to attract major investors and drive forward green tech innovation. Positioned as the northern counterpart to UKREiiF, the event seeks to position Leeds at the forefront of the UK’s clean tech sector.
The conference will bring together key players from across the country, enhancing the city’s reputation as a green technology hub. It aligns with West Yorkshire’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2038, with the region already contributing £8 billion to the green economy and home to over 3,000 businesses.
The Reset Connect North event is part of a broader regional strategy that includes investments in electric and hydrogen transport, energy-efficient housing retrofitting, and the development of a new tram network. These efforts are backed by the government’s focus on clean energy industries as part of its green economy strategy.
Reset Connect co-founder Richard Mackintosh highlighted the ambition of West Yorkshire’s green initiatives, noting that Reset Connect North will further amplify the region’s progress in sustainable development. The event will be an important addition to the city’s growing slate of sustainability-focused conferences.
