What IS THE FINANCE TRACK?

Despite the significant economic and health impacts of air pollution, funding for clean air initiatives remains disproportionately low compared to the scale of the challenge. The Finance Track brings together investors, founders, and ecosystem enablers to explore investment opportunities, discuss innovative financing mechanisms, and showcase successful business models in the clean-air space. Through fireside chats and panel discussions, the track will examine both traditional and innovative financing approaches, from venture capital to blended finance models. It will highlight the growing intersection of air quality and climate tech investments while exploring how different stakeholders can collaborate to accelerate the deployment of clean air solutions across the region.
