Canada’s #cleantech sector is striving to contribute to a greener future, but many companies must first navigate challenging times to secure early funding. Many cleantech ventures struggle to acquire the capital needed to transform their innovative, first-of-a-kind ideas into commercially viable products or services. These technologies are often not yet proven at scale, making them too advanced for venture capital but not mature enough to attract larger growth equity or infrastructure funding Despite the hurdles, Canada’s cleantech ecosystem is gaining international recognition. We ranked 2nd in the 2024 Global Cleantech Innovation Index, with 13 Canadian companies listed among the world’s top 100 clean-tech innovators! https://lnkd.in/giSGzNNn 

We continue to be bullish on #climatelinkedinvestments having closed a series of deals in emerging markets this year. What has changed is the market where the number of startups focused on climate has dramatically increased. Between a quarter to 40% of every startup we see is in this area. There is a strategy bias of course on what we see vs. the market, but the overall momentum is impressive. Was making this point in a conversation with Shruti Srivastava for Bloomberg and The Economic Times. While India is outpacing China, need to recognise that China has already made all these investments! https://lnkd.in/gh22S_WJ British International Investment Blume Ventures Mahindra Group Stellaris Venture Partners Omnivore Nikhil Kaviraj Chulani Chirantan Patnaik Megha Okhai Juhi VasanwalaJoanna Lingard, CFA Kaustav Bagchi, CFA Arun Prakash Korati #Sustainability #GreenFinance #ClimateAction #RenewableEnergy #SustainableInvesting #India #BritishHighCommissioninIndia

⚡Recharge, refocus, rebuild: Cleantech for UK’s Manifesto for the general election⚡ Our nation stands at the threshold of a transformative moment. Over the course of the next political mandate, we can generate thousands of new jobs for citizens in all regions of the UK and usher in a fresh era of prosperity and net zero industry. Currently, all major economies are competing vying for the lead in a global #cleantech race, and the UK must take decisive action to maintain its #competitiveness.  Today, at the The Royal Institution, Cleantech for UK unveiled its manifesto, outlining the following three priorities to secure our cleantech industrial leadership:   ⚡ Recharge the cleantech economy by closing the scaleup funding gap  🎯 Refocus on enabling policy  💡 Rebuild British leadership in key cleantech sectors At the launch event our Director, Sarah Mackintosh moderated an expert panel consisting of Jon Fuller (Breakthrough Energy ), Ed Phillips (Future Planet Capital), and Joe McMullen (AirEx Technologies) discussing their lived experiences in the cleantech field. The panellists shared their perspectives on their sector’s needs and the hurdles they observe for massively scaling and deploying cleantech solutions in the UK.  For more information, you can access the Manifesto linked here or via the image posted below: https://lnkd.in/gUbm8WTj We'd like to thank Undaunted: Tackling climate change with innovation for hosting us at the Royal Institution.

In recent years, there has been a huge increase in public and private spending, both in the US and elsewhere, on technologies and infrastructure to address climate change. A recent analysis estimates that total green investments reached $213 billion in the US during the 12 months beginning July, 2022. Most of that spending is allocated to building sources of renewable energy, such as wind or solar, as well as to supporting battery and EV manufacturing and creating green hydrogen infrastructure. We’ve been here before. Kind of. A surge in cleantech investments, which began in 2006 with the high-profile entry of some of Silicon Valley’s leading venture capitalists, lasted for a few years. But by the end of 2011, almost all the renewable-energy startups in the US were dead or struggling to survive. Things are a little bit different now. VCs are no longer going it alone. Cleantech 2.0 investors include hedge funds, corporations, growth investors, and even wealthy individuals. And today, the stakes are clear. We can’t afford to fail again. We desperately need these new advances to succeed. Will they? https://trib.al/JMxFVSx
