    The IPEF Clean Economy Investor Forum is one of the initiatives under the IPEF. It brings together the region’s top investors, philanthropies, financial institutions, innovative companies, start-ups and entrepreneurs.

    The Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF) is calling for applications from tech companies and startups as it aims to mobilize investments into sustainable infrastructure, climate technology and renewable energy projects. This is also an opportunity to showcase Indian investible sustainable infra projects on electric vehicles and solar power.

    The Indo-Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity (IPEF) was launched in May 2022 and currently includes 14 partners – Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, United States and Vietnam to provides a platform for countries in the region to collaborate on advancing resilient, sustainable, and inclusive economic growth. It aims to contribute to cooperation, stability and prosperity in the region.

    The IPEF comprises four pillars of cooperation namely: Trade, Supply Chain, Clean Economy and Fair Economy.

    The Department of Commerce is the nodal agency for the IPEF engagements in India, and the IPEF Clean Economy Investor Forum is managed by Invest India, India’s National Investment Promotion Agency.

    Apart from showcasing India’s leadership position in the Clean Economy space and the various innovate solutions driving it, India will showcase some of the large infrastructure projects in clean economy and top climate tech companies to the global investors for investment opportunities.

    The forum offers opportunity for the Indian industry in the two following tracks:

    • Climate Tech Track:  Under this track, IPEF Clean Economy Investor Forum is holding an open call that aims to recognise the top climate tech companies and start-ups among the member countries and present them to global investors. Climate tech entrepreneurs and companies in India may apply under this track.
    • Infrastructure Track: Under this track, India will showcase selected investible sustainable infrastructure projects at the 2024 Forum. The sectors of focus are-energy transition (e.g electric gird; renewable energy, including solar, and onshore wind; sustainable aviation fuel; battery storage; hydrogen; green data centers), transport and logistics (e.g. Electric Vehicle, EV charging points), waste management/waste to energy.

    The applications will be evaluated by regional and industry experts and the top 100 companies will be announced in early May 2024 and shortlisted companies will be invited to showcase and pitch at the Investor Forum in Singapore on 5 and 6 June 2024. The projects that are ready, or expected to be ready, for private investment during the next 18 months will be given priority for showcasing at the forum.
