Launched in 2018, our multi-year programme offers technical and financial support to the impact investment managers in their start-up phase with strong, innovative climate impact investment in process of fundraising.
These managers are selected using a highly competitive process and, once selected, they receive access to expert trainings, coaching, access to working capital, and much more.
To date, supported managers have secured commitments amounting to more than USD450m across 15 vehicles and are projected to raise more than USD4bn across 27 vehicles. To know more about our initiative and the selection process, visit our website: www.icfa.lu.
