After a highly competitive selection process, we’re thrilled to announce the aspiring impact fund managers joining the 2026 ICFA Cohort!

 

This year, the innovative solutions who will be accelerated through our climate finance programme are:

 

🏆DFP Africa Mobility Innovation Fund (AMIF)

DFP Africa Mobility Innovation Fund (AMIF) is a USD 50M blended-finance VC project backing sustainable mobility, clean and efficient logistics, and energy solutions including battery and charging infrastructure across Africa. AMIF combines capital, hands-on portfolio support and corporate partnerships to help portfolio companies scale commercially while reducing transport emissions and widening inclusive mobility access.

 

🏆OBOR Climate & Inclusion Impact Fund (OCIF)

The OBOR Climate & Inclusion Impact Fund (OCIF) supports 15-20 climate-adaptation SMEs across Southeast Asia. Managed by OBOR Management Co., Ltd (SERC-licensed, Cambodia), with Oxfam Australia as TA partner, OCIF addresses the structural “missing middle” – growth-stage climate SMEs that are too large for microfinance, too small for DFIs, and misaligned with traditional PE.

 

🏆Rise Biomes Fund

Rise is a pioneer in sustainable Private Equity in Brazil, bridging the structural funding gap between early-stage ventures and late-growth funds in the country’s climate economy. Through the Biomes Fund, the firm backs scalable early-growth businesses with a focus on climate mitigation, natural resource management, and biodiversity.

 

🏆Ignition Fund

Ignition Fund, managed by The Yield Lab Latam, supports pre-seed and seed-stage AgriFoodTech startups across Latin America. The project supports entrepreneurs improving agricultural sustainability, climate resilience, food security, and inclusion – delivering measurable impact across regional food systems.

 

Congratulations to these outstanding impact fund managers, we’re looking forward to starting this acceleration journey with your teams.
