Today at 3:45 PM EAT at #GOGSFE24, Open Capital Associate Partner, Duda Slawek will moderate a session on Blended Finance: Catalytic Models to Scale the Industry. At Open Capital, we strongly believe that increasing financing through blended finance mechanisms is critical to advancing energy access and impacting millions of lives. Blended finance offers a powerful way to unlock private capital, particularly in industries like off-grid solar, where risks are perceived to be high. By using tools like first-loss layers, guarantees, and catalytic funding, we can help bridge financing gaps, lower investment risks, and attract private investors to scale solutions for energy access. With multi-stakeholder collaboration being key, we’re excited to engage in conversations that push for innovative strategies and investment vehicles to achieve greater impact. #BlendedFinance #EnergyAccess #CatalyticCapital #OpenCapital

💰 A big part of the change GEAPP drives is rooted in innovative financing techniques—and one of the many people who help make this happen is Daniel Tascon. Daniel helps unlock potential in the places that need it most. He helps deliver concessional lending conditions that can lead to large-scale transformations. He is driven by the urgency of climate change and the international obligations that show global commitment. However, he knows not everyone is convinced of the immeasurable returns that clean energy will have on emerging, rapidly growing markets. "Our partnerships with private sector players should hopefully create a web where we can make connections and drive important clean energy transactions at an increased pace." Daniel hopes that future investors realise the potential of emerging markets, reforming energy, lending and development across the planet.

Fintech has a spot in the climate action conversation because climate-smart solutions and schemes, ranging from renewable energy projects to sustainable agriculture initiatives, often have a financial side. Listen to Hetal Patel, Chief Investment Officer at 54 Collective, share his thoughts on this. #fintech #climate #climateaction #climatechange #climatetech #sustainability

Reaching #NetZero isn’t just a technological challenge – it’s a capital one. #Climate finance needs to grow from USD 1.3tn in 2021 to over USD 8tn by 2030 to ensure key technologies like green steel, battery electric trucks, and direct air carbon capture can reach their full potential. The right financial innovation can help bridge this gap, as shown by a new breed of highly-active impact investors and philanthropists.

Another good read to follow up on this, from Peter Griffin: 👇 “A greater level of government cleantech co-investment could sweeten the deal… We need a strategic research focus on cleantech to give our efforts more critical mass. The MacDiarmid Institute has become the default research organisation focused on this area… As a shake-up of the beleaguered science sector looms, prioritising cleantech R&D, and stimulating investment in this space, would appear to be the one key area that combines our desire to create higher-value jobs and exports with making real contributions to tackling the climate crisis.” 💯 https://lnkd.in/gm53ukMV

It is fantastic to see this Cleantech report out in the wild — so important to see a community of voices speaking with clarity about what is needed to grow these companies in Aotearoa. Massive kudos to Kevin Sheehy for all his work on behalf of The MacDiarmid Institute contributing to both the broader community, and this report. https://lnkd.in/dWyyhSfY

At Angaza , we’ve witnessed how innovative financing can help last-mile distributors (LMDs) thrive, even during challenging times like COVID. Today, many LMDs in the off-grid solar and clean cooking sectors face tough economic and foreign exchange conditions. I am reposting about Social Investment Managers & Advisors (SIMA Funds)'s Emerging Distributor Finance Fund (EDFF)—a groundbreaking initiative addressing the debt financing gap for small and mid-sized LMDs. The EDFF also champions gender equity by prioritizing companies that promote women’s participation and leadership, fostering inclusive energy ecosystems. If you’re part of the off-grid energy or clean cooking sectors and need sustainable financing, explore this initiative and help expand energy access globally. #EnergyAccess #OffGridSolar #Sustainability #CleanCooking
