GGGI, in collaboration with the Korea Development Bank (KDB), is implementing the Green Climate Fund (GCF)–approved program “The Collaborative R&DB Program for Promoting the Innovation of Climate Technopreneurship” (FP240). The Program aims to strengthen climate technology entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems across five Southeast Asian countries: Cambodia, Lao PDR, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. 

Within this Program, GGGI leads country-driven acceleration readiness and ecosystem-strengthening activities. A central pillar of this effort is the design and operationalization of the National Climate Entrepreneur Accelerator Program (N-CEAP), which seeks to enhance the capacity of climate technology startups and enable their effective participation in national and regional acceleration and investment pipelines. 

The Program is implemented in a context where public and development finance institutions increasingly emphasize measurable climate impact, sound governance, and gender equality and social inclusion (GESI). Accordingly, N-CEAP integrates climate impact measurement (MRV) and gender considerations as core design principles, aligned with GGGI and GCF requirements. Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) is highly relevant to Climate Technopreneurship to ensure that innovation and entrepreneurship are designed, built, and scaled in a ways that is accessible to diverse segments. By implementing GESI principles, the project can tap into previously underserved market such as women, minorities, marginalized communities and underserved geography and help to bridge gap in the societal issue in Indonesia. This will also strengthen project design that incorporates inclusive and equality thinking to provide innovation outcomes and align local startups with the increasing investor policy and policy expectation around impact and sustainability.
