Join us for an inspiring Fireside Chat with one of Oman’s most remarkable startup founders, Talal Hasan, the visionary behind 44.01 - a trailblazing Omani tech company on a mission to tackle one of the planet’s most pressing issues: climate change.

Talal founded 44.01 in 2020 with a bold idea: to accelerate the natural process of carbon mineralisation and transform CO2 into solid rock, permanently and safely. Fast forward to 2022, and 44.01's revolutionary solution earned them the prestigious Earthshot Prize - as well as earning Talal a seat on stage with Bill Gates to share the 44.01 story! In 2025, the company was named an XPRIZE Carbon Removal winner, marking a pivotal moment in global climate tech.

In this exclusive Fireside Chat, Talal will share his incredible journey - from founding a climate-tech startup in Oman to leading a globally recognised company with operations in the UAE and international ambitions. Whether you're a startup founder, investor, or ecosystem enabler, this conversation will offer invaluable insights into scaling a startup, driving sustainability, and navigating the challenges of pioneering new technologies.

You’ll hear about Talal’s experiences building a company that’s not only contributing to the global fight against climate change but also positioning Oman as a leader in cleantech. Expect a candid discussion on the realities of innovation, the power of purpose-driven entrepreneurship, and the opportunities for collaboration within the Omani and global startup ecosystems.
