GCF and Korea Development Bank help climate innovators traverse “valley of death”

27 Jul 2021 / We need innovation to provide climate solutions. But too many great new ideas die in the so-called ‘valley of death’ – the gap between seed funding for entrepreneurs and the longer-term investment that brings those ideas to market.  In tackling this challenge, Southeast Asian entrepreneurs with ideas on how to use technological innovation to tackle climate change have received a fillip with a new partnership between the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and the Korea Development Bank (KDB), supported by the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI).
