Impact Trade Fair 2026: Doing Business with Impact in Utrecht

On April 9–10, 2026, the Impact Trade Fair will take place at Jaarbeurs Utrecht, as part of the Future-Proof Convention. This leading event brings together companies, investors, and organizations working on sustainable and future-proof solutions.

With a wide range of exhibitors, speakers, and interactive sessions, the fair focuses on one central theme: how entrepreneurship can drive positive societal and environmental impact. The Impact Trade Fair offers not only inspiration, but also concrete opportunities for collaboration and implementation.

From inspiration to collaboration

The strength of the Impact Trade Fair lies in its combination of knowledge sharing and direct interaction. Visitors gain insights into the latest developments in areas such as the circular economy, energy transition, and climate solutions, while connecting with organizations actively implementing these innovations.

This makes the event particularly relevant for organizations aiming to translate sustainability ambitions into tangible projects and partnerships.

Restore Carbon’s involvement

Our contribution to climate solutions

During the Impact Trade Fair, Restore Carbon looks forward to engaging with partners on its approach to large-scale carbon removal through peatland systems. By injecting organic residual biomass into deep, anaerobic peat layers, CO₂ is durably stored while simultaneously contributing to ecosystem restoration.

This scalable approach offers significant potential for carbon removal in Europe and beyond, aligning with the increasing demand for high-quality, permanent, and verifiable carbon removal solutions.
