What Lies Beyond Incubation and Acceleration?
May 21 @ 14:00 h - 15.30 h CEST
You have been through an accelerator. Or you run one. Or you fund them. And you may have asked yourself: is this really enough?
For climate adaptation entrepreneurs in emerging markets, LDCs, and especially small island developing states, conventional incubation and acceleration programmes often fall short. They were not designed for businesses solving deeply local, systemic challenges where the path to scale looks nothing like a venture-backed startup, and where patient, blended capital and long-term ecosystem support matter far more than a demo day.
This public webinar is for founders, entrepreneurship support organisations, and impact funders who want to explore what lies beyond for adaptation businesses – and who are willing to ask harder questions about how we do we really create the systemic conditions for attracting the investments they need.
Contributing speakers:
- Lea Faucheux, Climate Policy Initiative and the ClimateShot Investor Coalition: findings from CPI’s forthcoming landscape report on climate-focused agribusiness technical assistance providers in Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America
- Scott Walker, Systemic Innovation: systemic barriers to enterprise scaling and implications for adaptation support, exemplified by the updated African Scalecraft body of work
- Team from Climate KIC and PlanAdapt: emerging findings from the two year evolution of the MSME Incubation & Acceleration Community of Practice of the Climate Adaptation Innovation & Learning project
The Climate Adaptation Innovation and Learning project is financed by the Global Environment Facility and implemented by UNIDO, in partnership with Climate KIC, the Global Adaptation and Resilience Investment Working Group, and UNEP FI. We are developing a unique knowledge platform for climate adaptation–a hub to drive innovation and boost private sector engagement.
