Financial Innovation

Building catalytic capital pathways for the clean energy transition

About

The clean energy transition isn’t just a technology challenge, it’s a capital challenge. Less than 3% of global climate finance reaches the communities in the Global South most affected by climate change, and even less goes to the entrepreneurs building real solutions on the ground.

New Energy Nexus is closing this gap. Our Financial Innovation programs address the systemic barriers that our entrepreneurs often face by designing and deploying catalytic capital mechanisms that unlock capital especially in under-served and emerging markets. We build financial infrastructure that enables markets to scale long after our initial intervention.

Our solution

Catalytic capital deployment

Direct investment in early-stage clean energy startups to de-risk markets and unlock follow-on capital

Financial instrument design

Developing guarantee schemes, blended finance mechanisms & market-specific funds

Market facilitation

Convening investors and financiers, providing technical assistance, and building enabling ecosystems to sustain investment flows
