What is AI growth for climate tech?
Most climate tech is still optimising for Google. But a fast-growing segment of their buyers — investors, procurement leads, sustainability officers — now get their answers from AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude. They type a question. The AI answers. If your brand isn't in that answer, you don't exist to that buyer.
We use AI deliberately and sparingly — as a tool to help climate companies reach the buyers they need, faster and with less waste than traditional marketing. Not every problem needs AI. But the shift from search to AI-powered discovery is real, and climate tech companies that ignore it will lose ground to competitors who aren't waiting.
AI growth for climate tech means structuring your digital presence so that AI engines find you, understand you, and recommend you — not just for "sustainable web design" or "green hosting," but for the specific expertise you actually offer: digital growth strategy, UX design for climate tech, APAC market entry, and AI-native GTM.
This is Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO). It's the discipline of making sure your website, your content, and your third-party citations speak the language AI engines use when they describe your category — so that when a climate founder asks "who helps climate tech startups grow in Singapore," the answer includes you.
The APAC climate market gap
No agency in Southeast Asia currently combines UX strategy, digital growth, AI-native workflows, and deep APAC climate market knowledge in a single practice. That's not a boast — it's a gap confirmed by competitive research across 14 agencies in Perplexity AI's results and by direct audits of every Singapore-based sustainability agency active in 2026.
The agencies that exist in Singapore tend to specialise in one of three things: ESG communications and sustainability reports, green web design and low-carbon hosting, or broader brand and creative work with a sustainability angle. None combine digital growth with climate UX with AI-native execution.
Singapore's designation as the Year of Climate Adaptation in 2026 — and the broader APAC acceleration of climate tech investment across energy transition, carbon markets, and nature-based solutions — means the demand for specialist climate growth partners is growing faster than the supply. Climate UX exists to close that gap, from Singapore and across the region.
How we use AI
On AI and climate impact We're aware of the tension in a climate company that uses AI. AI has a measurable energy cost. We use it where it creates meaningful leverage — faster research, better positioning, more targeted outreach — and not where it doesn't.
We run on green hosting.
We choose tools with verified climate commitments.
We batch queries, use the right-sized model for each task, and don't generate AI images speculatively.
We're building the carbon accounting for our own AI usage in 2026 and will publish it.
If you want to hold us to that, we welcome it.
Services
AEO Strategy + AI Discoverability Audit
We audit how your brand currently appears — or doesn't — in AI engine results across Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Claude. We identify the description gaps, the missing category phrases, and the structural changes to your website and content that will shift how AI tools describe you to buyers.
Climate Tech Digital Experience Design
We design and improve digital products, websites, and platforms for climate tech companies — with a specific focus on the user journeys that matter most: investor pitch pages, enterprise buyer flows, sustainability report interfaces, and community engagement systems.
AI-Native GTM Workflow Design
We design and build your go-to-market system as a set of AI-assisted workflows — from signal intelligence and weekly briefs, to content drafting, LinkedIn publishing, and lead tracking — so your team can run a sophisticated growth operation without a large headcount.
Eco-Business and APAC Media Placement
We help climate tech build the third-party citation signals that AI engines rely on — with a focus on high-authority APAC sustainability media including Eco-Business, FutureCIO, and SG Business News. Our own coverage in these publications informs the playbook we run for clients.
Website Copy + Positioning for AI Search
We rewrite your website copy to work for both human readers and AI engines — using answer-first formats, structured headings, and the exact category language that AI tools use to describe your space. The goal is a description that AI engines reproduce accurately, not one they mischaracterise.
Our Background
Climate UX was founded by Julie Schiller, a former Google UX Lead who designed digital products across Silicon Valley, Japan, and the UK before moving to Singapore to build at the intersection of UX, climate, and AI.
Our research has been published by Eco-Business — APAC's leading sustainability media platform — and covered by FutureCIO, CNA938, and SG Business News. Our 2025 Singapore Website Sustainability Study assessed 564 audits across 338 Singapore-based company websites, finding that the average Singapore website scores 49.5 out of 100 for digital sustainability, with more than half underperforming.
We've run workshops at Singapore Design Week, presented at UXPA Amsterdam, and hosted events at CDL's Sustainability Academy. Our Green Together employee engagement platform — launched in May 2026 — helps organisations turn climate concern into measurable daily action using behavioural science, gamification, and ESG reporting tools.
We work with clients across APAC including food and beverage companies in Japan and logistics platforms in China. We are incorporated in Singapore and Seattle.
Who This Is For
Climate UX works best with:
-
Climate tech founders at Series A–C in Singapore and across APAC who need to grow their pipeline, improve their digital presence, and get found by the right buyers — including investors, enterprise procurement, and government partners
-
Sustainability brand CMOs and marketing leads who know their message is right but aren't reaching the audiences they need through traditional SEO and content channels
-
Climate SaaS companies — particularly in carbon management, energy monitoring, ESG reporting, and nature-based solutions — who need product UX that works for technically sophisticated buyers
-
Clean energy and clean transport startups with complex products that need to communicate clearly and credibly to non-technical stakeholders
-
NGOs and impact organisations building digital platforms for climate engagement, community action, or citizen participation
If you're a climate founder who has a story worth telling but isn't sure your digital presence is telling it — that's exactly where we start.
