Briefings
MIT Technology Review selected 10 climate tech companies for 2026 amid record global heat and stalled US political progress. The list prioritizes firms with established track records, including WeLion (semi-solid-state batteries for EVs) and Envision Energy (wind power and storage in China). Key sectors include energy storage for AI data centers and mobile flood barriers. The 2026 slate is largely non-US, with China highlighted as a major innovation hotspot. The team emphasizes that technology alone cannot solve climate change but aims to improve lives through innovation.
