Where Innovation Meets Impact: The Upcoming 2025 Climate Solutions Prize Tour

As someone deeply committed to building a safer, healthier world for people of all backgrounds and abilities — I know that tackling the climate crisis is not just an environmental imperative. It’s a Jewish one. And increasingly, it’s also an opportunity to invest in meaningful, measurable solutions that uplift our shared future.

That’s why I’m excited to spotlight a powerful opportunity on the horizon — one that combines visionary leadership, breakthrough technologies, and the unmatched magic of the innovations of Israelis.

The 2025 Climate Solutions Prize Tour, co-hosted by the Climate Solutions Prize and the Jewish Climate Trust. This immersive, five-star experience — taking place September 10–19, 2025 — is designed specifically for significant impact investors, philanthropists, and climate-focused changemakers ready to make a difference.

This year’s tour spans two global innovation hubs — the UAE (September 10–13) and Israel (September 14–19) — offering participants an exclusive front-row seat to the future of climate tech, clean energy, agri-innovation, carbon removal, and sustainable policy.

Why This Tour Matters

The stakes of the climate crisis are massive — but so is the opportunity to drive scalable, sustainable change. In fact, some of the most game-changing climate innovations today are being born in Israeli labs, startups, and accelerators. The tour is not just a chance to witness these breakthroughs. It’s a platform to fuel them. Whether you want to invest, acquire, collaborate, or learn, this experience brings you face-to-face with trailblazers in a variety of climate sectors. Through curated site visits, a powerful Pitch Day event, and personalized matchmaking, the Climate Solutions Prize Tour helps attendees move from inspiration to impact — fast.

Climate Investment Through a Jewish Lens

While this trip is open to all, what makes this journey unique is its alignment with Jewish values. Tikkun olam — repairing the world — is at the heart of climate philanthropy and impact investing. So is supporting Israel as a global leader in innovation, while building bridges across the Middle East.

By joining this tour, participants also strengthen climate diplomacy, create peace dividends through regional collaboration, and build bridges with Arab nations committed to shared environmental goals.

This is more than just a trip. It’s a chance to be part of a global Jewish initiative to lead on the most pressing issue of our time.

World-Class Leadership, Unmatched Access

The tour is chaired by a powerhouse team of leaders dedicated to climate action, including:

• Michael Sonnenfeldt, co-chair of Jewish Climate Trust and chairman of MUUS & Company — a visionary investor and philanthropist known for advancing sustainability, democracy, and peace.
• Jeff Hart, founder of the Climate Solutions Prize, who has already directed over $5 million in awards to researchers and entrepreneurs in Canada and Israel.
• Dan Levine of Tenfore Holdings, leading the UAE pre-mission and bringing deep expertise in scaling transformative technologies.
• Steve Oyer and Eran Sandhaus, who bring business acumen and strategic insight to identifying high-impact opportunities.

They’re joined by an ecosystem of leading partners including Startup Nation Central, Jewish Funders Network, Kinneret Innovation Center, Planetech, Israel Innovation Authority, Peres Center for Peace and Innovation, and others.

Together, this collaborative network ensures a high-touch, high-impact experience — one that moves from visionary conversation to concrete action.

What You’ll Take Home

• Deep knowledge of emerging climate tech sectors
• New partnerships and deal flow with Israeli startups and scale-ups
• Meaningful connections with fellow funders, investors, and thought leaders
• An inspired sense of purpose rooted in Jewish values and Israel’s potential

Most importantly, you’ll return with the tools and connections to do more good, more effectively — for the climate, for Israel, and for the world.
