The Elemental Excelerator is taking strides to close the financing gap for emerging technologies. First, in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group (BCG), they began a deep market study into climate financing gaps and how to address them. The team quantified the Scale Gap at $150 billion for emerging technologies. You can read the learnings in their white paper with BCG “Traversing the Climate Technology Scale Gap" found: https://lnkd.in/g6gMXhep Second, to close the financing gap using their investment expertise — Elemental Excelerator took steps to infuse more capital directly into critical projects and push the boundaries of current investment practices. The team worked with audacious philanthropic partners to secure additional funding and innovative pilot approaches. This resulted in the creation of Elemental Excelerator's new funding instrument, the Development SAFE (D-SAFE), through which has already funded eight initial projects!
