2025 Highlights

See What You Missed Last Year

In 2025, over 300 attendees gathered in Queenstown to explore the future of clean energy. From electric vehicle test drives to policy debates with Ministers, it was three unforgettable days.

“Electrify Queenstown was a game changer for Ryder Specialty Coffee and Crimson Badger Brewing. The insights gained about green business loans and hearing from a panel of business owners were invaluable. These experiences directly influenced our decision to invest in an electric forklift”
