Our vision and mission

Asia-Pacific is home to a diverse and dynamic range of climate tech innovations, yet it faces challenges in securing the necessary funding to bring these climate solutions to market and impact.

Our vision is to create a thriving climate tech ecosystem where innovative startups gain the resources and support they need to scale and significantly reduce global emissions.

By providing a free directory and information about climate innovators and investors, we aim to bridge the funding gap between the region's substantial contribution to global emissions and the relatively low percentage of funding it currently receives.

To achieve this vision, we are committed to:

Supporting startups: We provide visibility and access to climate tech startups in Asia-Pacific, helping them connect with potential investors and partners.
Connecting investors: We offer a detailed directory of investors seeking opportunities in the climate tech sector in the region, facilitating the flow of capital to promising startups.
Building connections: By bringing together startups and investors, we foster collaboration that drives innovation and accelerates the development of climate solutions.
