Indo-Pacific Economic Framework Launches Forum to Boost Clean Economy Growth
In a landmark development aimed at bolstering regional economic advancement and sustainability, the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF) was officially launched in May 2022. This initiative brings together 14 nations, including prominent players such as Australia, India, Japan, and the United States, among others. The collaborative platform is geared towards fostering resilient, sustainable, and inclusive economic growth throughout the Indo-Pacific region, with its framework centered on four pivotal pillars: Trade, Supply Chain, Clean Economy, and Fair Economy.
An integral component within the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF) is the Clean Economy Investor Forum, which brings together key stakeholders including leading investors, philanthropic organizations, financial institutions, and entrepreneurs from the region. The primary aim of this forum is to direct investments towards sustainable infrastructure, climate technology, and renewable energy projects. Spearheading the IPEF efforts is the Department of Commerce, while oversight of the Clean Economy Investor Forum falls under the purview of Invest India.
India, showcasing its prominence in the Clean Economy arena, is set to showcase substantial infrastructure endeavors and prominent climate technology companies to international investors during the forum. This endeavor not only underscores India's groundbreaking contributions in the clean economy domain but also presents lucrative investment prospects in expansive projects.
The forum is structured around two main tracks: the Climate Tech Track and the Infrastructure Track. The Climate Tech Track invites climate tech companies and startups from IPEF member countries to apply for an opportunity to showcase their solutions to global investors. Applications are open until April 26, 2024, with the top 100 companies being announced in May 2024. These selected companies will then present at the Investor Forum in Singapore on June 5-6, 2024.
Simultaneously, the Infrastructure Track will spotlight investable sustainable infrastructure ventures, emphasizing sectors such as energy transition, transportation, logistics, and waste management. Preference will be accorded to projects poised for private investment in the upcoming 18 months. This endeavor reinforces the Indo-Pacific region's dedication to climate resilience and sustainable progress, encouraging both Indian and international investors to participate in this transformative venture.
