Roth Capital Partners and Sustain Southern California announced they will co-host the 8th Annual Sustainability Private Capital Event virtually on October 28-29, 2025. The conference will feature 1-on-1 and small-group meetings conducted via Zoom, creating direct connections between senior executives from sustainability-focused private companies and investors representing venture capital, private equity, family offices, endowments, and foundations. This format facilitates meaningful dialogue and potential investment opportunities in the rapidly growing sustainability sector.
The event will cover critical discussion topics spanning multiple sustainability domains, including Solar/Storage, e-Mobility, Clean Fuels, Circular Economy, Grid/Battery Technology, and Agricultural Technology (AgTech). These sectors represent some of the most promising areas for innovation and investment in the global transition toward sustainable economic practices. The comprehensive coverage of these topics reflects the evolving landscape of sustainable technologies and the increasing investor interest in environmentally conscious business models.
ROTH Managing Director Robert Stephenson expressed pride in continuing to support the region's sustainability ecosystem through this annual event. The partnership between Roth Capital Partners and Sustain SoCal has proven instrumental in driving innovation, collaboration, and economic growth across the sustainability sector.

The continued partnership between these organizations underscores the growing importance of private capital in driving sustainable innovation. As climate concerns and environmental regulations intensify globally, events like the Sustainability Private Capital Event provide crucial platforms for aligning investment capital with companies developing solutions to pressing environmental challenges. The focus on private companies reflects the critical role that venture capital and private equity play in funding early-stage innovations that may not yet be ready for public markets.
This event represents a significant opportunity for investors seeking exposure to the sustainability sector and for companies requiring capital to scale their operations. The timing of the event in late 2025 positions it at a crucial juncture for sustainability investments, as many technologies in solar storage, electric mobility, and clean fuels approach commercial viability and scalability. The continued growth of this annual event demonstrates the sustained interest and commitment from both the investment community and sustainability innovators in Southern California and beyond.
