Foundations & Nonprofits
Foundations and nonprofits are pivotal in advancing the cleantech industry and tackling its challenges through philanthropic and funding initiatives. We assist in prioritizing cleantech innovators and technologies for funding, while we also identify key areas of interest among their supporters.
Case Studies
Background
The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is a specialized agency of the UN with a unique mandate to promote, dynamize and accelerate industrial development.
Strategic engagement & impact
UNIDO’s Global Cleantech Innovation Programme (GCIP), supported by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF), promotes cleantech innovation and entrepreneurship in emerging markets and developing economies to address climate challenges and foster low-carbon development. GCIP is currently operational in 19 countries.
Cleantech Group has been engaged to deliver the ecosystem-strengthening component of GCIP. To date, three knowledge products benchmarking global best practices have been published in partnership with UNIDO in cleantech policy strategy, cleantech cluster development, and cleantech stakeholder engagement. We are currently working with 8 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to develop cleantech policy recommendations tailored to local contexts. A public Cleantech Innovation Index, showcasing their cleantech ecosystems of the 8 countries, will be launched at COP29.
