Nature Tech Collective Week 2026

We had a strong week at Nature Tech Collective Week 2026 and came away with even greater conviction about where this sector is heading.

One theme became increasingly clear across the week: nature is emerging as an investable strategy across private markets.

Harold's Park and the scale of restoration

The week began at Harold's Park Wildland in Essex, hosted by Nattergal. Seeing the scale of restoration underway alongside the technology supporting it was a powerful reminder that large-scale nature recovery depends on robust operational infrastructure and data systems. It was also encouraging to hear how local communities are being actively engaged throughout the project — an important part of building long-term resilience and stewardship into nature recovery models.

Themes from the Nature Tech Unconference

At the Nature Tech Unconference, conversations focused on what it will take to scale the sector.

Resilience emerged as a central theme. Companies are increasingly recognising that protecting supply chains and physical assets requires direct engagement with nature and climate risk. Healthy ecosystems are not just environmental assets — they are increasingly linked to measurable risk reduction against flooding, wildfire, and broader climate impacts. That shift changes the investment case for nature by creating a clearer connection between capital deployment and measurable outcomes.

Insurance was another important area of discussion. As the sector works out how to engage with nature markets, there is a growing opportunity for nature tech companies to become the trusted infrastructure layer supporting assessment, reporting, and investment decision-making. It was particularly valuable to hear more about the work of the Flood Action Coalition and the role it can play in bringing stakeholders together to help nature-based solutions be recognised and treated as infrastructure — creating clearer pathways for insurance providers to participate in the market.

Across every conversation, one theme tied everything together: data. Usable, investor-grade nature data is what enables confidence, transparency, and ultimately capital deployment at scale.

Building the infrastructure for nature investment

At Kana Earth, we are building the infrastructure for investing in nature and climate. Traditional financial systems were not designed to manage the operational complexity of these investments. Projects, reporting, data, and stakeholders remain fragmented, creating friction and slowing deployment.

Kana Earth provides the infrastructure needed to bring transparency, operational coordination, and portfolio-grade oversight to nature and climate investment.

Weeks like this are also a reminder that scaling this market will require deep collaboration across the ecosystem. We're proud to be part of that journey alongside so many organisations helping shape the future of the sector.
