Background and Objectives
…Emerging economies lack the venture investment and PE funding that is essential for the expansion of new technologies such as carbon removal, climate smart agriculture, and adaptive technologies. This event aims to explore investment models that balance risk-return and development impact and showcase successful agri-tech companies and carbon capture projects from around the world. In addition, ways to accelerate capital inflows through ecosystem building, regulatory risk reduction, and blended finance were discussed.
