Crowdinvesting

The project aims at setting up and operating a crowdinvesting platform for retail investors to finance green projects and SMEs in developing countries. While a handful of comparable platforms already exist, this new platform intents to add value by 1) financing a wide range of climate protection measures (beyond clean energy access), 2) targeting exclusively local borrowers, 3) selecting countries and promoting markets that do not frequently appear on other platforms, 4) working with local partners for credit/impact analysis and monitoring.

The project is supported by the German Ministry of Environment’s International Climate Initiative (ICI) and is jointly implemented with the Frankfurt School-UNEP Collaborating Centre and GLS Bank.
