Title: Making Climate Finance Work for Early-Stage Innovation in Low-Income Country Settings 
Client: Frontier Tech Hub
Published: May 2023

About: The Frontier Technologies (Ft) Hub is funded by the FCDO which is part of FCDO’s broader Ideas to Impact portfolio. UrbanEmerge produced a deep dive study for the FT Hub to explore how public sector climate finance can be used most effectively to leverage private sector investment in innovation, for initiatives in agriculture, forestry, energy and health in low-income country settings. The team conducted a literature review, along with key stakeholder interviews with experts and advisors to provide guidance to FT Hub’s pilots on how to best position their innovations for future funding.
