CC FORUM LONDON: LEADERS IN SUSTAINABILITY

CC Forum has long stood apart — not just as a gathering, but as a call. From its landmark editions in London, Monaco, and Bahrain, each hosted under the presence of visionary leaders, it’s built a legacy where sustainability isn’t framed as sacrifice, but as the most strategic frontier of our time. Now, as the world faces overlapping crises — climate, energy, food, equity — the XIVth edition, 27-30 October 2026 in London arrives at a turning point. https://cc-forum.com/london

This isn’t about incremental change. It’s about redefining what leadership looks like when the stakes are no longer distant, but here. The forum doesn’t just connect investors with innovators — it asks both to step into the urgency. And this time, the message is clear: acting now isn’t optional. It’s the only way forward.

If you’re serious about shaping what’s next, this isn’t just worth attending — it’s where you need to be.

This is where impact meets influence. At CC Forum, you’re not just hearing from global changemakers — you’re sitting across from them. Whether you’re an investor looking for the next big leap in sustainability, a founder ready to scale, or a leader rethinking your role in a shifting world, this is the room where it starts.

Expect real movement: major announcements, investor pitch sessions with decision-makers, and curated networking that goes beyond handshakes. And yes — it’s not all serious. The VIP Gala is your chance to connect, unwind, and celebrate the kind of progress that only happens when the right people come together.

This year’s forum brings together an uncommon mix: diplomats shaping policy, government leaders driving national transitions, CEOs retooling their corporations for resilience, and family offices deploying capital with purpose. But it’s not just about representation — it’s about convergence. When a climate scientist shares the stage with a finance minister, or a founder building climate tech sits down with a sovereign investor, the conversation shifts from silos to solutions.

Their expertise isn’t delivered in isolation — it’s layered, challenged, and turned into something actionable. That’s what makes CC Forum different. It’s not a stage for speeches. It’s a space where deep knowledge meets real leverage — and where sustainability stops being a side issue and becomes the core of how we build forward.

Max Studennikoff, Chairman of the CC Forum Organizing Committee, is a builder with a global mindset — a serial entrepreneur who’s spent over 25 years turning ideas into impact across industries like event innovation, real estate, hospitality, and education. Based in France and armed with an MBA from Imperial College London, he’s now channeling that experience into something bigger: a worldwide series of high-stakes forums that connect visionary investors with breakthrough startups in sustainability.

Beyond organizing, Max is a trusted voice — sought after as a speaker, investor, and advisor — because he doesn’t just talk about change. He’s spent decades making it happen.

CC Forum’s Advisory Board is led by Gunter Pauli, a pioneer who’s been ahead of the curve for decades. He introduced the idea of zero emissions back in 1988 and built the first fully closed-loop factory by 1992 — not as a theory, but as proof it could work. Since then, he’s driven real industrial change in green detergents, bioplastics, stone paper, and mushroom farming, all under the banner of The Blue Economy — a vision the UN adopted in 2009 and that’s now shaped policy in over two dozen countries.

Today, he’s not slowing down. His experimental vessel, Porrima, holds the world record for solar-powered sailing and stands as a working model for how zero-emission maritime transport can scale. With Gunter at the helm, the Advisory Board isn’t just guiding CC Forum — it’s helping steer the future.

For each edition, CC Forum’s Organising Committee and Advisory Board handpick a select few honorees — public figures whose work has truly moved the needle in building a fairer, more sustainable world. These aren’t just awards; they’re a signal of what courage and commitment look like in action. And this year, the moment gains even greater weight: Mr. Ludvig Nobel will personally preside over the ceremony in London — a fitting tribute, given his family’s enduring legacy of recognizing transformative impact. His presence doesn’t just elevate the event — it roots it in a tradition of change that matters.
