STFC Marketplaces

Our quest into 2017 on questions relating to how to solve big challenges in the food-water-energy-climate nexus in efficient, effective and importantly in environmentally sustainable ways led us to this initative titled ‘ Sustainability Technology and Finance Catalyst Marketplaces ( STFC Marketplaces )’ . Marketplaces, especially those that are technology led, we found, among many possible solutions, offered ways to bring buyers and sellers together, reduced search and discovery costs while providing open platforms to bring to early light innovative products and services for rapid diffusion and fast market uptake.

As an on-going advocacy initiative, we have , to begin with, tracked 6 global sustainable technologies (spanning food, water, energy, built environment verticals) and 6 sustainable finance marketplace initiatives ( spanning sustainable finance needs emanating from stakeholders ranging from governments to SMEs ).

Through the initiative, we hope to catalyze the idea of ‘ India centric STFC marketplace‘ platforms given the unprecedented success of electronic marketplace startups successes and valuations in here, favourable glocal climate – sustainability technology, market and policy tidings and the maturity and avaialbility of deep technical expertise and manpower.

Happy 2017
