Executive programmes, commissioned research and advisory that help leaders turn complex transition challenges into practical action.

Where the
work begins.
Research earns the right to convene. Convening creates relationships. Those relationships become partnerships, commercial opportunities and routes to finance.
Knowledge & Convening is OCTD’s engine room: a shared foundation for our work in materials, artificial intelligence and climate finance. We work with banks, corporates, public institutions and climate technology ventures.

Built for leaders.
Grounded in practice.
Our programmes connect current research on climate technology and finance with the realities facing senior decision-makers. Discussion and relationships carry the work beyond the programme itself.

From the room
to the market.
The June 2026 programme led directly to carbon removal work with policymakers and companies. The September programme brought development bank executives into discussions about financing the same projects.
That connection between knowledge, relationships and implementation is the purpose of convening.
