BlueTech Forum Ignite x Nike

Set against the theme From Lighthouses to Tipping Points, the event explores how breakthrough ideas, pioneering technologies, and bold leadership create the momentum needed for systemic transformation. Ignite invites participants to move beyond isolated success stories and towards shared frameworks, collective action, and large-scale impact.

The audience will include global thought leaders, senior sustainability executives, water strategy directors, solution providers, investors, and corporate end-users whose work is shaping the future of water and climate resilience. The calibre of speakers and contributors is exceptional, including figures such as designer, educator and author of Lo–TEK Julia Watson, with further keynote speakers to be announced in the coming months.

BTF Ignite builds upon the momentum of the BlueTech Forum Unplugged workshop series and represents a deepened collaboration between BlueTech Research and Nike. Together, we are creating a space for meaningful, strategic conversation. The kind of dialogue that influences direction, strengthens partnerships, and ignites new possibilities across the global water sector.

Designed as a high-trust environment, the event brings together a breadth of perspectives from across industries. Participants can expect a programme that includes keynote talks, curated panels, peer-to-peer learning discussions, and facilitated exchanges that enable leaders to connect, reflect, and co-create pathways to scale.
