Strengthening Climate Tech
across the
Global South
A collaborative platform empowering local climate tech startup ecosystem orchestrators to scale solutions for a sustainable planet.
WHY THE GLOBAL SOUTH?
Global South is Key to Fighting Climate Change
75%
of infrastructure up to 2050 hasn’t been built yet, much of it in developing countries
60%
of raw material extraction by 2060 will impact Global South ecosystems—innovation here is critical.
Global South
Global South countries are more vulnerable to climate change
Local Context Matters
Homegrown startups understand local challenges best
South-South Synergies
Needs and solutions of the Global South are more related than with the Global North
The Global South isn’t just affected by climate change,
it needs to
lead the fight as well
The Problem
Funding Imbalance
Less than 10% of climate tech funding is deployed in the Global South
Expertise Gap
Development organizations in the Global South lack the on-the-ground teams,and expertise today to support effectively climate tech startup ecosystems.
Fragmented Ecosystems
Climate tech startup ecosystmes are inherently numerous and fragmented, and require directed efforts at ecosystem orchestration.
The Solution
Strengthen Ecosystem Orchestration
Replicate proven models to connect startups with funding, mentorship, and markets.
Increase South-South Collaboration
Share tools, networks, and platforms to support more local climate tech startup innovation.
Mobilize South-South Capital
Direct more funding to local climate tech startups and ecosystems
