Emerald Summit: The Premier Event Kicking Off Climate Week NYC 2025Hosted by Wallet Max and Fintech Is Femme

New York, New York (August 7, 2025) – Wallet Max and Fintech Is Femme are excited to announce the highly anticipated Emerald Summit™—the official kickoff event for Climate Week in New York City. Scheduled for September 19 at 9 AM at Civic Hall (124 E 14th St, New York, NY 10003), the summit is poised to be a transformative forum for changemakers, executives, entrepreneurs, investors, and professionals who are passionate about sustainability, financial inclusion, and climate technology. Bhuva Shakti, Founder & CEO at Wallet Max mentioned that: “our annual Emerald Summit is where sustainable finance builds climate solutions together: to fund sustainable and profitable tech for people, planet, and global communities!”

Building on the success of last year's annual event, which featured prominent speakers such as Climate Hard Tech Venture Capital Investor at SOSV and Chief Science Officer Susan Schofer, and industry leaders like Elisabeth Ballreich, Principal Investment Officer from Women's World Banking Asset Management, Francisco Martin-Rayo, CEO at Helios AI for Supply Chains, and Perry Teicher, Global Impact Finance & Investment Counsel from Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, the Emerald Summit will bring together leaders and innovators dedicated to crafting impactful solutions for a healthier planet. With a strong focus on regenerative systems that advocate for mitigation, adaptation, and resilience, this event is set to ignite dynamic discussions and inspire action within the realm of climate tech risks, business continuity planning, and disaster recovery.

The Emerald Summit is not just an event; it represents a movement toward a sustainable future. By bridging the gap between climate solutions and financial inclusion, the summit aims to foster a planet-positive landscape where businesses can thrive while contributing to the greater good. Last year’s event received robust support from leading sponsors and partners, including Trinet, CLA, The Fourth Effect, and F3, all of whom are committed to sustainability, impact, and profits.

This year's summit offers a unique opportunity to shine a spotlight on the active international voices from climate fintech and environmental sustainability, emphasizing the importance of collaboration to democratize access to limited global resources and foster inclusive growth.
